AltTab,
by Thomas Leonard
Brief
~~~~~
AltTab requires the nested window manager (version 3.97 or higher).
*Help WindowManager
will tell you which version you have.
AltTab is a small module which allows you to bring windows to the front of
the window stack easily if they get hidden under other windows.
To run it, double click on it. To use it:
• Hold down Alt (and keep it held down).
• Tap the Tab key (a partly hidden window will be outlined).
• Keep tapping Tab until the window you want is selected.
The title of the selected window is shown at the top of the screen.
• Release Alt to bring the window to the front.
Conditions
~~~~~~~~~~
This program is FREEWARE, so you can copy it and pass it around as much as
you like as long as none of the files are modified or deleted.
There is no warranty, but please report any bugs to me.
Loading AltTab on startup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have the new boot structure then you should put AltTab in
$.!Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks
(hold down Shift when double clicking on !Boot).
If you are using your own boot system then make sure that AltTab is
run after the desktop starts.
Bugs
~~~~
It behaves strangely if menus are open when you use it (menus can't be
brought to the front, but they do highlight).
History
~~~~~~~
Version 0.02 (08-Apr-1998)
Beta released version.
Version 1.00 (24-May-1998)
The window title is shown at the top of the screen while
selecting windows.
