Calling AltTab from Circular menu doesn't work anymore

StanN · December 3, 2024, 11:36am

v. 4.925

Describe the bug

Since Alpha update the key combo Alt Tab as configured in circular menu item doesn't show the AltTab windows. It only switches back and forth between the last 2 used apps. If keycombo pressed manually it works as expected. Have alrdy restarted the system.

Has there maybe been a change in how alt tab fetches the shortcut?
You could try this which will send the option key at a lower level:

They mention this in their release notes:

* improve keyboard handling when macos is overwhelmed ([4a9b543](https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/commit/4a9b543))

I think that's the problem.

This seems to workaround it here, but I think it will need a proper fix on AltTab's side:
