- Description:
-
- CoolSwitch is a little utility which came out of a discussion on
- comp.sys.acorn.programmer about why there was no utility for RISC OS
- which did the same thing as the Windows Alt-Tab task switcher.
-
- Pressing Alt-Tab presents a list of tasks which have open document
- windows, and pressing Ctrl-Tab presents a list of open windows for the
- task which owns the topmost window. Beyond that I think things are
- pretty predictable. To summarise, keep hitting (Shift-)Tab while the
- little CoolSwitch viewer is on screen to step through the tasks /
- windows. When you get to the one you want release Alt/Ctrl and that
- window / task will be placed at the front of the pile.
