Window Switcher: Select after Drag

[Volker]

Hi Andreas,

I want to achieve the following UseCase:

1. Open the window switcher in the middle of the screen by pressing a mouse button (and hold)
2. Select the right window by a "Actions Executed on Drag Up/Down (continuous)"
3. Focus the selected window by releasing the mouse button pressed in (1)

What is missing:

1. I miss a "Move Selection in Window Switcher Down" action. I tried just sending a arrow down, but this has not worked.
2. When releasing the mouse button, it seems that the actions "Executed On Click RELEASE" and "Executed On Click RELEASE After Long Hold" do not trigger when a drag-action has been performed.

That's how my setup currently looks:

I also tried adding a Button 6 (mouse-up) trigger that activates the hovered Item in Window Switcher like that, without success:

Happy about any hints from your side

Have a great day & best regards,
Volker

Good Morning Andreas,

thanks for adding

1. the new Action "Move Selection In Active Window Switcher Down"
2. and the option to "Activate Selected Window When Held Mouse Button Is Released".

The second one does not work in my setup. Do you have any hints?

Have a great start into the week.

Best Regards,
Volker

still working on that, I‘ll ping you once I tested with more setups later today!

I removed that option in v6.780 as it kind of duplicated existing code. Instead set it up like this using the "on click release" action category:

Hi Andreas,
thanks for your feedback. The "Actions Executed On Click RELEASE" does not seem to trigger - on my site - once I have used one of the "Actions Executed On Drag Up/Down (Continuous)".

See my settings below:

Just reporting - I think the new "Mouse Hovers Doc App Icon" with the horizontal Window Switcher solves my UseCase even better than this. So this does not have a high prio for me.

Thank for your work
