Activate last window
December 03, 2002 10:33AM
<HTML>It would be awesome if there was a command to activate the last window you were on. I have a window that I need to check every few minutes. I can tell the gesture to activate that window, but I would like to be able to then have it return back to the window I was on after using a delay command. Of course I could use the activate window command again if I was coming from the same window everytime, but I'm not. Every time I perform the gesture I may be in IE or outlook or photoshop. So having the return to last window command would make this simple to do.

Please let me know if my description was unclear.</HTML>

I've written a plugin that could be very easily adapted to do this for you. I'll add the feature in the next day or three or so, and post here when it's done. :)

Sorry this took so long. I had some important family matters to take care of.

You can find the plugin <a href="http://www.redrubberball.net/del/files/StrokeIt_MarkKill_1.0.exe">here</a>. It's pretty self explanitory, but what you're going to want to do, is set up a gesture activate the previous window, and then mark the new one. In effect this creates a gesture for an exclusive two-window alt-tab.

Good luck! :)
