Accessor Appearance and Shortcut #374

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Hey, what a nice application! Thanks! Anyway, it would be cool to get the 
Accessor as an actual tool window (without the -caption switch) to make it 
stand out from the background windows. And what about an option to make 
Accessor replace the default Win7 alt-tab dialog? (i prefer Accessor due to its 
well arranged items). The x64 release of WindowSwitcher.ahk should also use 
GetClassLongPtr in order to show all icons correctly in Win7x64.

And Accessor should filter itself out of the active tasks list, i think.

Have you tried changing the hotkey for it to Alt+Tab? I don't want to set this 
as default but you should be able to do it I think.

Different window appearances will come with the next update.
There's a large overhaul of Accessor coming which will also result in the 
window list not being displayed by default (but rather the history of last 
executed commands), but I'll add an option that allows to customize it so it'll 
act like before.

Yep, did that. Let me explain, what i got in mind: By default, i see a lot of 
redundance: The taskbar, alt-tab dialog, win-tab dialog and Accessor are in 
some kind of competition. While getting rid of the task bar, i'm tryig to build 
a ui that has one dialog for switching between windows only. That was, untill 
yesterday, launchy and some ahk alt-tab replacement. But that often got me in a 
situation where i wanted to switch to an application and then noticing that it 
hasn't been startet yet. While the fingers are on alt-tab already, i had to 
shift-tab back to the desired window, then press a button to show up launchy 
and start the application. With Accessor, i can open the active tasks list, 
switch to a window or - if it isn't there yet - start the appropriate 
application. (Perhaps it would even be easier to start Acc with a single key 
like #)

Hm... now one could suggest to just start explorer's task bar and use it by 
pressing # like anybody else would do ;)
