I may be walking into this one blind, but the Alt-Tab implementation in Unity now (the new one) supports sorting by "focus order" or by "launcher order" as a side effect of the fact that the icons come in sorted by launcher order out of the launcher model. This is of course not exposed as an op

That's an excellent idea, binding Super+TAB to spatial program order. Ability to sort through both logically and spatially are going to find their respective uses. I would love to see it become a reality. (I need to hurry up and learn some languages) I want to bring up a slightly offtopic issue, t

First of all, I'm no programmer. Second of all, I'm probably missing something. Third of all, how about making "Toggles" the Backlight Mode default? That way, it will be clear on first sight what alt-tab selections there are, especially if it only cycles through open programs. The white highlig

It's a lovely idea, and three consecutive designers have dashed themselves on the rocks trying to get it right. I'd be thrilled if someone could do better! Here's what we found each time we tried it: *The launcher is spatial, the alt-tab is logical.* The alt-tab works best when it is a stac
