AltTabber v1.5

I'm glad to bring you AltTabber version 1.5!

Quick Intro

The application requires no installation. It creates a registry key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\jakkal\AltTabber.

To activate the window switching overlay, you need to press the hotkey. By default, it is Alt+~, where ~ is the key above tab (regardless of mapping). You can also click on the AltTabber icon in the notification area.

The default hotkey can be changed to something else, as documented here.

When the overlay is active, you can:

  • Select a window by:
    • clicking on it
    • scrolling to it with your mouse or Tab or Shift+Tab
    • move to it with the cursor keys (arrows)
  • Switch to the currently selected window by either:
    • double clicking on it
    • pressing enter
    • pressing the hotkey again
  • Exit the overlay using Escape
  • Filter the current list of windows by typing in words. It works with any unicode. For example, open up a notepad, open the AltTabber overlay and type NOTEPAD.EXE and it should only show the notepad window (or windows if you had more of them open)
  • Move windows across monitors by right clicking on them and selecting Move to monitor X

The downloads

Under normal circumstances, you should download AltTabber-1.5-64bit and use that.

If 32bit means anything to you or if the 64bit version refuses to open, use AltTabber-32bit.exe. These applications were only tested on Windows 7.

New in this release

  • fix bug with popup menu when opened using the menu key
  • fix bug in non-aero mode on multiple monitors
