Nice. There still seems to be some weirdness involved. Task manager doesn't always choose the windows after releasing ctrl.

Can you describe exactly how to generate this problem (how many windows are open, etc.)? Are you using version 1.08?

Have you got a logon for the wiki? (Same as garage.maemo.org logon).

Yep.

EDIT: ..but the problem was another kind of stupidity on my part.. Added a short sentence on how to change value of gconf keys.

Didn't check the the release version, but it was the previous version before update just few minutes ago. The problem occurs still in latest version.

I've tested this app only with few windows. I seem to get the state on by using ctrl + backspace rapidly. After this the ctrl + backspace still scrolls between apps, but it doesn't select the leftmost task.

After scrolling tasks again rapidly it starts to choose the right task again.

Shortcutd backspace seems to do the same as ctrl + backspace here. Any chances to prevent this?

Mh, what are you talking about? I'm using booth together. And only this way you'll get the biggest benefit. It works really great! :)

What should we prevent? :D

Re: [sandbox] Shortcut to switch between running applications?
 
Well in my phone shortcutd backspace action moves task windows around, but doesn't choose any naturally without ctrl. This way moving tasks just mess your head around and you really have to check what task your looking at.

Briefly this app is fine the way it is, but it affects also shortcutd in bad way.

Then you're using the wrong settings. Please seee here: #20

try this. open 4-5 programs and then click "ctrl + backspace".

now click either "shift + 1", "shift + 2" etc. or "blue arrow + 1", "blue arrow + 2" etc and see what happens.

A warning would be nice next time. Now I've closed my Audiobook by accident and I don't know where it stopped. :mad:
Please apologize yourself and Vote for this Bug: 1129 :p

Hmm... I hope Panucci get more stable in the future... :rolleyes:

Matan 2010-03-08 11:07

Re: [sandbox] Shortcut to switch between running applications?
 
Just to make it clear: it is not shift+1, shift+2, but shift+q, shift+w, etc. If you want to close the windows that are displayed in the second row, use shift+a, shift+s, etc.

You also don't have to press shift and q at the same time, you can press only shift (or fn), and then press q, and the window will be closed. A cog wheel appears on the upper right corner to tell you that pressing q will not switch to a window, but will close it instead.

Re: [sandbox] Shortcut to switch between running applications?
 
It seems I have lost this alt-tab-like behaviour even though I used:

Quote:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/ctrl_backspace_in_tasknav -t int 3
Could it be because of the firmware upgrade? Do I need to install the modified hildon-desktop again? When I click the install link, application manager says it is already installed.

Matan 2010-03-08 11:31

Re: [sandbox] Shortcut to switch between running applications?
 
The easiest way to test if modified-hildon-desktop is active is by checking if left/right arrows switch desktops in the home screen, as this feature is not configurable.

I don't think an update might have caused problems, since PR1.1.1 did not update the hildon-desktop package, and modified-hildon-desktop could not be installed prior to PR1.1.

Setting ctrl_backspace_in_tasknav to 3 does not give you alt-tab like behaviour. See description of the possible values here:
http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/repo/Mo...n_Desktop.html

left/right arrows are working in the home screen. Setting ctrl_backspace_in_tasknav to 3, but the behavior is that I get the most recent window open, not the second most.

Matan 2010-03-09 12:28

Re: [sandbox] Shortcut to switch between running applications?
 
Modes 3 and 4 for ctrl_backspace_in_tasknav were broken when I introduced mode 5 (I changed the order of sort from older first to newer first, but forgot that it affects modes 3 and 4 as well). It should be fixed in version 1.12, which is now in my repository.

pillar 2010-03-09 12:57

Re: [sandbox] Shortcut to switch between running applications?
 
@Matan: fixed it perfectly, thanks.

Tesno 2010-04-08 07:17

Re: [sandbox] Shortcut to switch between running applications?
 
Can we add ctrl+w to browser? To close current window and choose for example previous one?

See here for more options of this program.

So, PR1.2 is out and the modified hildon desktop gone. Matan, are you at that? :)

It would be nice to have option no 3 again. ;)

I don't know what they changed in the new version. So I'm aware of installing a hildon desktop with the old code as base.

Matan 2010-05-26 14:04

Re: [sandbox] Shortcut to switch between running applications?
 
modified-hildon-desktop_2.0 (in my repository) works for me in PR1.2. Discussion here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=53651

Depending on your upgrade process, you might need to reinstall it.

Bump for ctrl + w. Is it possible to add on modified hildon desktop?

Matan 2010-10-30 12:24

Re: [sandbox] Shortcut to switch between running applications?
 
modified-hildon-desktop does not use ctrl + single letter global shortcuts, since those are usually used by applications.

By default, keyboard-shortcuts package includes ctrl+shift+b shortcut for an empty browser window.

Tesno 2010-10-30 15:18

Re: [sandbox] Shortcut to switch between running applications?
 
Ctrl + w closes current tab in desktop. You mentioned in other topic that you have linked ctrl + enter to long esc press, could you pass the line to do that?
