Draft of app switching based on the taskbar order

[undefiened]

Hi,

I am trying to draft a solution for #2163

It is at a very early stage and I unfortunately have an issue so I was wondering if I could ask for a little bit of help because the logic of the process is lost to me. I have ungrouped windows, so every window is a separate entry in the taskbar. The code that I have written works without issues on windows of differents apps, so for example if I have open Firefox, Terminal, File manager, Sublime Text then if would switch back and forth correctly, no issues there. However, if I have several windows of the same app, for example, Terminal w1, Terminal w2, Terminal w3 it would sometimes jump between windows in a wrong order, for example if I click left from w3 it would sometimes switch to w1 instead of w2.

The main logic is in linearSwitcher.js

Thank you for the help and sorry for taking your valuable time!

Hi, there already is something similar when you scroll on a panel, so you could try to reuse that. See here, but you'll need to account for monitor isolation as you can have different windows linked to different panels. In that case, you'll probably have to concat a list of all windows (from every panels) and activateSiblingWindow using that list. Good luck!

Got it, I will take a look at that! Thank you very much!
