today, I have discovered a nice shortcut (chill if you already know). It is not exactly Alt + tab feature as in PCs but it switches between the latest 2 open programs. try "Ctrl + Space". I hope you find it useful just like me. I saves lot of time when copying or viewing info between 2 programs. Its like the back button on any TV remote (switches b/w latest 2 channels). Well, I guess someone might even discover or create the ALT + Tab feature soon

Sorry Mohammad, I guess you didn't try this out. Ctrl + backspace is to view all open programs. this one is to switch between the latest 2 open programs. It automatically switches (i.e. full screens the programs) unlike Ctrl + backspace.

Yes I re-read the post and deleted my reply, you checked the thread again too quick
Edit: yep it works, could've been faster but, it's good for what it does I guess, thanks
Question though, why did you make another thread? http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...449#post554449

the other thread has the actual "Alt + Tab" feature, i.e. you can switch between many programs. so, i wanted to keep it separate.

Another discovery (may be some of you know this already).

first click "ctrl + backspace", this will show you all the open programs.

then click 1, 2, 3 to open the respective programs.

Like if the first open program is conversations, then clicking 1 will open conversations.

afaik, the best way to achieve ALT + Tab feature

but also it doesn't work for more than 3 programs I guess. when i click Ctrl + backspace and then 4 or 5, the respective program doesn't open. I guess its some kinda bug? please fix it

Ctrl + space doesn't work? are atleast 2 programs open. even with 1, 2, 3. first open few programs, then press control + backspace and then press 1,2,3
