yoke two windows so they minimize, and get to foreground together?

(1/2) > >>

urlwolf:
I'm using an editor and a terminal most of the time.
It'd be great it they could be 'yoked' so they could be minimized together, get focus, etc.
Is there an easy way to do this?

I'm also using the tweak UI powertoy to have x-like focus follows mouse behaviour. It's great.

Thanks.

tomos:
I was wondering the same thing while looking at the "Window Tags" thread earlier today

... here's KeySwitch - Use hotkeys to switch windows!

 1: Press Ctrl-T to start assigning a hotkey.
 2: Press Ctrl and 0 through 9 to assign that hotkey to the active window.
 3: To swith to a window, press the assigned hotkey.

I cross posted on the other thread

btw whats this "x-like focus follows mouse behaviour" ??

urlwolf:
instead of having to click to assign focus, focus follows the mouse cursor. You save one click.

You can make it so the window on focus is brought to front as well.
Kind of disconcerting at first.

Easing way to test it is to install that tweak UI powertoy. It's harmless.

Skrommel's MouseActivate does pretty much that, doesn't it?   I use it occasionally - very handy.

I can't think of anything for your yoking problem though.  It does seem like something I could use too.
