2013-05-15 09:36:29 John Lea description if I have two windows of a particular application type in the alt-tab switcher displayed vertically I alt tab to the type of application I want then I want to press down to go to the lower one when focus is on the top one. I actually have to press right. If I press left (expecting right and left to be equivalent when they are supposed to mean "down") then I go to the previous kind of application. If I then realise my error and press right twice (once to undo the unintentional left, and once to go down to the application window I am aiming for) then I overshoot and go to the kind of application that is in the switcher to the right of the one I am trying to get to. Then I have to go left again, to get on the correct type of application. Down to expand the icons and right to go down to get to the window I have been trying to get to all along. if I have two windows of a particular application type in the alt-tab switcher displayed vertically I alt tab to the type of application I want then I want to press down to go to the lower one when focus is on the top one.
