( Note: Apple's built-in App-Switcher is: [apple]+[tab] )
(+) PROS:
- + Multiple Hot-Key Activation Choices
- + Right-Mousers can more easily activate it ( e.g., [control]+[tab] )
- + And Likewise Left-Mousers ( e.g., [control]+[return] )
- + You can EASILY step-navigate through Apps by releasing and pressing the 2nd Hot-Key key (to Reverse direction press the [shift] key as the 2nd key instead).
- + Right-Click an App's icon to see Contextual Menu Options (or use Keyboard Shortcuts INSTEAD)
- + Provides MANY Options you can set in System Preferences
- - Can NOT [esc] from it IF Hot-Key is set to: [apple]+[tab]
- - If you've just hidden an app and then quickly depress and release the Hot-Key, it re-activates the Hidden App. It should NOT do that. What it should do is Select the Next ACTIVE App below the one on top (which is standard OS X behavior).
- - Developer never responded to my Important Email Inquiry (and why I never bought it)
- - NOT updated since 7-06 (1.5 yr)
- - When Intel Macs were released it took 1-YEAR for an
Intel-compatible update
IF the Developer was responsive to emails and updated this app more frequently I'd raise my rating to 4 / 5.
What would Help? This proposed Enhancement would save a lot of time when many Apps are open: SEGREGATE Active and Hidden Apps into Distinct Groupings wherein Active ones are navigated first. Either:
- Place Active on LHS and Hidden to the RHS, OR
- Place Active on Top and Hidden below in a 2nd list
* USAGE TIP: In order to confidently rely on the use of the [esc] key I recommend you NOT use [apple]+[tab] as the designated Hot-Key.
