The Alt-Tab Switcher in Elementary looks nice, but it is difficult to use, because only one window is shown while switching apps. The context is lost. The only way of seeing all available apps to switch through is in the dock, but I don't think that's enough. Especially in multi-monitor systems, when trying to quickly switch to another app, I often have to cycle several times through all apps before I manage to find the correct one. This is because the dock is relatively small, and only visible on one monitor. Also, looking at the dock to see all available apps to switch through is a focus killer.
Solution:
instead of displaying only one app with full opacity, and the rest invisible, keep also the non-focused apps visible, but slightly faded. |
