Activate recent windows (previous/next) #44

Closed xalt7x closed 3 months ago

xalt7x commented 3 months ago

Sometimes user needs to switch between recent windows. Such windows may not be adjacent (left/right) and they may not be at the edge (start/end). I'd like to have keybindings for actions similar to kwin-window-switch (doesn't work with Plasma 6 yet) or native window switcher (doesn't work with Karousel).

The native Plasma Task Switcher should work with Karousel as long as you don't set "Tiled windows skip switcher" in the Karousel settings.

Can you describe how it doesn't work? Does anything happen at all when you press the keyboard shortcut?

The native Plasma Task Switcher should work with Karousel as long as you don't set "Tiled windows skip switcher" in the Karousel settings.

Thanks, that was it. Alt+Tab works now and to avoid popup I can just increase KWin's DelayTime to some higher value (e.g., 150)

As for this issue, I'm not sure whether I should close it. Additional shortcut for Task Switcher (e.g. Meta+z) works but it might break an original Alt+Tab shortcut (users may have better experience with assigning it to the Alternative Task Switcher ("Walk Through Windows Alternative")).

Glad to hear that fixed it! As for the issue itself, I'm not sure I understand. What would such a shortcut in Karousel achieve that the native Task Switcher doesn't?

After some testing I've found that the native Task Switcher is fine for this.
Thanks for your help and feedback!
