MarkRobbins Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Do you... want to activate arbitrary windows quickly with a few keystrokes want to not rely on global hotkeys need visual feedback letting you know what windows are assigned need a fast way of assignment and removal LRShiftWinAct is a translucent slide-in dialog that allows you to assign windows to key slots 0-9 Usage: Pressing the left and right shift keys will activate the application. When activated, it notes the previously active window so that you can assign it to a slot. Pressing 0-9 will assign to that slot if it is empty, if not empty the window in that slot will be activated. Pressing shift+0-9 will force an assignment into a filled slot. Pressing ctrl+0-9 will empty a slot. Thus, window activation amounts to L+R shift, [dialog], 0-9. Slot assignment L+R shift, [dialog], shift+0-9. When the application is not active, a momentary tool tip showing slot assignment will appear in the upper left of an active window if it has been assigned a slot.

spudw2k Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Neat idea, but I've never had any issues with using (Shift+)Alt+Tab before. Guess I'm not much in a hurry to switch directly to a window. I'm not knocking your script; it looks interesting and has a neat appearance, just not an app for me.

MarkRobbins Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Neat idea, but I've never had any issues with using (Shift+)Alt+Tab before. Guess I'm not much in a hurry to switch directly to a window. I'm not knocking your script; it looks interesting and has a neat appearance, just not an app for me. You need to open more windows then For me there is always 3 or 4 main apps that I need to 'hold still' amongst the (easily) 20 or so in the alt-tab shuffle. This is even after I have Win+0-9 handled by the taskbar (unreliably I must say, I hate the taskbar in Win7... its such a dog), on top of that I have a launch or activate script running on Win+F1-F12 and still all my apps aren't covered. I have so many ways to switch windows its ridiculous. I have one script that picks up all the misc window types; I have a zoom-out and pick manager; I have an incremental search switcher; a taskbar for multi-monitor; and an additional task bar thats only good for a mouse. With all that its hard to believe I wrote this out of desperation. Thanks for the feedback though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudw2k Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Sounds to me like you would greatly benefit from dual+ monitors.
