#42 More "sticky" mode options

[ptodd]

Currently, I don't enable Alt-Tab sticky mode, because
I still like to switch back and forth very quickly
between two programs. I think it would be useful if,
for example, the 'applications list' keyboard shortcut
could have a preferance for sticky mode.

Even more to the point would be a clickable icon on the
window, so that one could make the window sticky, then
release the Alt key.

Many thanks for a very clean and useful piece of software.

I'm not entirely sure that I understand you, but I believe
that what you are asking for is already available. Make sure
that [Preferences] > [Hotkeys] > [Enable Alt-Tab "sticky"
mode] is unchecked. This will give you the the ability to
quickly switch back and forth between two programs. However,
if you press [Win] + [F12], then the applications list opens
up in sticky mode. Then, these can shortcuts can be used:

Hope that helps

Thanks, that option is enough to do pretty much what I
wanted. I did want something where you could change your
mind, and make the task list sticky without getting rid of
it first, but that's just nit picking. Actually, this was
also pointed out to me by someone else, too, but it is the
advice I needed.
Incidentally, I tried changing the shortcut to one with
[Alt], and it seems not to remain sticky then, for some
reason. Not a problem, anyway.

Ah, now I understand. What you want to do is to open it like
normal, with an [Alt] + [Tab]. While you're holding those,
push [Z]. That will make it sticky. To unstick, press [Z] again.

Perfect, thank you very much. Sorry I didn't explain myself
more clearly before.

How about a hotkey to toggle Sticky Mode?
Easier than finding option in configuration dialog.

Or activate sticky mode by HOLDING Alt-Tab for a few seconds.
