Alt-Tab with mouse

(1/2) > >>

ovehal:
I was very exited a while ago when I bougth my Intellimouse, because it should do alt-tab.
I does but it's not fully functional. One click on the mouse wheel = one alt-tab. So it's only usable to switch back and forth between two windows.

What I would like is a fully functional alt-tab from the mouse.
Like:

1) Click, hold and scroll the wheel button to switch to the desired application.
2) Right click hold and left click to alt-tab thru the windows. Left click hold and right click to alt-shift-tab thru the windows.
3) The same as 2 but configurable for mouse with several buttons.

And so for a alt-tab hint that it can't believe it have taken me so many years to discover.

If your dragging a file from one window to another. Earlier I would have done it in one of two ways.
1) Keep both windows visible on screen.
2) Drag the file over the sys. toolbar button and hold it there until the window comes up front.

Now I just start dragging and while dragging I just alt-tab to the right window.
Was this old news to everybody? (If so don't let me know:-))

If you've got AutoHotkey installed (http://www.autohotkey.com/) then this is pretty simple to do. Copy this little piece of code and save it as MouseAltTab.ahk. Double click it and you've got Alt-Tab functionality with the mousewheel button.


--- ---; Mousewheel Alt-Tab

MButton & WheelUp::ShiftAltTab   ;Mousewheel click-hold + wheel scroll up equals Shift-Alt-Tab
MButton & WheelDown::AltTab     ;Mousewheel click-hold + wheel scroll down equals Alt-Tab
MButton::Mouseclick, Middle         ;Pass on plain mousewheel clicks

Are you using the latest IntelliMouse drivers? My IntelliMouse Explorer cycles through all active windows as I click the wheel.

Hehe, nice idea! It's a bit tricky to use, but it works! :)

"Mousewheel click-hold + wheel scroll up equals Shift-Alt-Tab" --> not exactly here, it opens that Alt+TAB window, then every scroll up OR down moves the cursor the left in there.

As I said: tricky, but it works :)

WARNING!

These 3 lines caused severe trouble in Firefox, like cloing two tabs when clicking with the middle mouse button on one etc. - I was very puzzled at first, until I remembered I added this to my AutoHotkey.ini  :(
