I see that nobody answered your post... I'd like to help, but I'm still on XP and haven't got that problem.
Maybe is there a log file somewhere with more details ??

I have the same problem on windows 7 64 bit. If the plugin is enabled it crashes Farr.

Here is the error log:

Error initializing plugin do_init function
c:\Programs\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FARRAltTab\FARRAltTab.dll

Just curious could the modifier be changed - to ';' the semicolon? Essentially, we could hold down the semicolon and start typing. (The semicolon is used because it's in the natural typing position)
As soon as FARR picks up what we want, letting go of the semicolon would automatically launch the desired window.

Hello is there anybody here?  ;D

The semicolon could be used to toggle FARR.
But holding it down could activate the AltTab function.
While holding it down we could start typing and upon release the desired window should launch.
Perhaps tapping semicolon twice, or ';'+'Spacebar' could enter the ';'.
This would be combining the best of Enso and Keybreeze - in terms of speed and fluidity.

Wish this was updated for more modern versions of windows.  Anyone have an alternative, either for FARR or a similar tool?

I see the code is linked above- I'll try to dig in and see if I can figure it out.  Been wanting to get into FARR plugins in any case.

I found a few replacements, but they do run much slower:
Switcher - http://insentient.net/
Switcheroo - http://www.switcheroo.io/ - Graphical
iswitchw - fastest - https://github.com/tvjg/iswitchw

Not sure what changed, but for some reason FARRAltTabRCW.dll now works on Windows 10 for me. *Shrug*

Does anyone still have the source code for this? Would like to try and get it running on Win 11.
Edit - found source
