flip 3d and alt tab window cycling

[Guest]

When you press alt + tab it automatically selects the next window, where as
when you press window+tab it remains on the active window. So, to get to the
same window using alt tab, you only press tab once. To get to the same window
using windows tab you have to hit the tab key twice. Is there a way to make
flip 3d (windows tab) worrk in the same way as alt+tab, as it's difficult for
me to make the switch.

Not that I know of. The assumption is that if you press Alt-Tab, you want
to change windows. The improvement is that hitting Alt-Tab a second time,
goes back to the window you were in instead of advancing to the next open
application.

Windows key+Tab, if you have flip3D available to you, will stay in the
current window unless you select a different one.

Hi Gupta,

The behavior is a little different between ALT+TAB and Windows Logo Key+TAB.
However, if you're having trouble navigating in Flip 3D, you might find it
helpful to use the arrow keys or the scroll wheel on your mouse to cycle
forward or back through the stack of open windows. Or you can also click on
a window within the stack with your mouse while in Flip 3D.

Hope this helps,

Tatsuo
