Switching windows using "Desktop Windows" dialog

[ferenczy]

Hi,

I have some issues with the "Desktop Windows" dialog (it has assigned keyboard shortcut "Find window"). Ability to display list of all windows with quick search and quick switch to the selected window is great. It's much faster than looking for window on task bar or Alt + Tab dialog for me.

But it doesn't work well. Actually for some applications it works great (e.g. Chrome), but for some it works weird or not at all. It's not possible to switch to Notepad++ at all, Total Commander works sometimes (for example on second or third try).

Otherwise it's really good feature. The Search field has always focus, so I don't have to move hand from keyboard to mouse. Maybe one thing - if search field is empty, it's not possible to browse window list using up / down arrow. There has to be at least one character in the search field. Also if the search field contains some characters, I have a focus in the windows list and than press backspace, search field is overwritten with some weird character (most probably backspace character itself).

So I have 1 big pain and 2 minor bugs:

1. Not possible to switch to window of some applications (open "Desktop Windows" dialog, type "tot", select "Total commander" with down arrow key, press enter ... nothing happens, just "Desktop Windows" dialog disappears).

2. Not possible to browse windows list using up / down arrow with empty search field.

3. Backspace key overwrites search field with weird character when browsing windows list


...and one feature request: it would be nice to have some hotkey to switch between desktops and overview of all windows on all desktops inside the "Desktop Windows" dialog. So I don't have to use mouse even for this.

Did I post my question to a wrong topic or have I done another mistake that my question wasn't answered?

Thank you.
