Win7 hidding something from the alttab mac#
Win7 hidding something from the alttab windows#

If an app on your mac has alt-tab in it, you don't want that to trigger, otherwise if you switch to that app, you're 'stuck' and can't use AltTab to switch to another app, as the app is absorbing the key events. Think about this: AltTab want to grab keyboard before other apps. I don't see how AltTab could handle this. In short I believe this is a limitations from the remote desktop apps. I explained a bit of technical details above. The behavior being that AltTab shortcut is always intercepted by AltTab first, whether on the host or on the remote window. So, the question is, and before I talk about a feature request to turn off AltTab.app on special apps when on focus, I like to ask, if this is a known issue (found no open tickets) and how could I possible get this fixed? It worked great with v2.3.4ĮDIT: I could make a video, but you don't see what keys I press, so its pretty useless, thank you sharing your experimentation! Indeed, it seems like you, me, and all experience the same behavior. (sorry for german language screenshots, did not find a way to swtich to english, which I would also prefer.) I'm sorry, I did not made a screenshot of my prefs from the old version, but the new one looks like this: Same creepy behaviour, also, I have the impression, some options from the preferences window are missing.they look strange to me.but that could only be my impression. I thought, I could be clever and re-install the old version, but unfortunately, that trick did not work. When I quit AltTab.app, everything works fine. If I press ENTER in explorer.exe on a file, it opens its Properties instead of opening the file.) It seems to me, that the ALT Key is locked, like the CAPS-LOCK function. With the new version all the keys are mixed up in Win7 Window of VNC.app.

Never had a problem navigating inside the Win7 Windows via ALT-TAB keys

With the old version I could just normal 'move around' inside the VNC window and control it via keyboard shortcuts, although the ALT-TAB is bound in AltTap.app to the same keys as in Win7. I'm using VNC.app a lot, connecting to a Win7 Machine. I have used the 'old' v2.3.4 a long time with Mojave and it worked pretty flawlessly. Hi and thank you for the long missed, and imho more intuituve than MacOSX standard behaviour!
