Re: cygwin alt-tab


Have you tried XWin with the -multiwindow flag (and no Window Manager)? In multiwindow mode each Xclient gets its own Windows Window, and hence will be included in the Alt-Tab cycle.

hello,

i'm a new cygwin user and i'm wondering if there's any way to cycle
through windows, like using alt-tab, because alt-tab is captured by the
OS.

i realize this issue has been touched on before
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-07/msg00044.html)
but i'm throwing it out there because i couldn't find any descriptions of
a good solution.

i'm using WindowMaker, and i can't find any other key sequence that cycles
through the windows (although i think it would be a great solution if i
could use something like cntl-alt-tab to cycle through the windows in
the x window, and still allow alt-tab to cycle through Windows
applications)

so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. thankx

~L
