yes, I tested it. But middle click is used for scrolling and browsing in firefox. So I would like to use Ctrl-MiddleClick to start TabMenu, but only MiddleClick or left click for choosing the program.

Here's one that's closer, though I haven't tested it extensively for side-effects:
^MButton::AltTabMenu
~MButton::AltTabMenuDismiss
~LButton::AltTabMenuDismiss
WheelDown::AltTab
WheelUp::ShiftAltTab |

Cool!
I think I will use this very often. Thank you!
But one little thing: I would like to press Middle Click oder left click without Ctrl to select the tast.
Or even better: after 0.5 second windows switches to the selected tast, if you don't move your mouse wheel.
This sounds complicated for me.
I am not angry, if this is not possible.
bye, urev |

I think the above already allows this. If it doesn't work for you, perhaps you can clarify.
| Quote: | | Or even better: after 0.5 second windows switches to the selected tast, if you don't move your mouse wheel. |
There might be a way to do this but I suspect that it would be ergonomically inferior to an explicit left-click or middle-click. |

| These various AltTab replacements are quite cool, although I still don't like using them because there seems to be no way to cancel the AltTab without selecting any app. Can this capability be added somehow? With the built-in AltTab, if you hit Escape then the AltTab dialog is dismissed without focusing any app. |

That's great feedback. I didn't know about Escape's ability to cancel the AltTab.
I'll try to add Escape as a means of canceling.
Edit: AltTab hotkeys have been improved to support Escape as a means of canceling the operation. Thanks for suggesting it. |

I have the following script:
-----
Rbutton & WheelDown::AltTab
$RButton::MouseClick, right
WheelDown::AltTab
WheelUp::ShiftAltTab
MButton::Send, {ESC}
-----
I'd like it to "cancel" the Alt+Tab when pressing MiddleMouseButton (ie: as pressing ESC when using alt+tab: the alt+tab window will close and it will return to the previously selected window) but it won't work.
I tried several other combinations but none will close the alt+tab window.
Any ideas ?
PS: I know I may press Escape to cancel the alt+tab but I'd like to be able to use alt+tab with mouse only, including cancelling it... |

This might explain why the following script does not modify WheelDown and WheelUp, except when the AltTabMenu is shown | Code: | MButton::AltTabMenu
WheelDown::AltTab
WheelUp::ShiftAltTab |
This is really what we want, but I could not find it documented in the help. Some hint is hidden under Advanced Hotkey Features for the above 3-line script (but no explanation): | Quote: | | Convert the mouse wheel ... into a complete substitute for Alt-Tab. Click the wheel to show or hide the menu, and turn it to navigate through the menu. The wheel will still function normally whenever the Alt-Tab menu isn't visible. |
Chris, could you clarify these in the Help? |

I've added the following, which is hopefully clearer: "AltTab: If the menu is displayed, more forward in it. Otherwise, display the menu if the hotkey is an "&" combination of two keys; otherwise, do nothing."
| Leo wrote: | | I'd like it to "cancel" the Alt+Tab when pressing MiddleMouseButton |
The reason it doesn't work is that the Alt key is down while the alt-tab menu is displayled. Therefore, put a "*"or "!" in front of your MButton hotkey to make it work. For example: *MButton::Send, {ESC}
I've added mention of the need for * or ! to the help file. |

@Chris: thanks, it works now !
But unfortunately mouse gestures (in Opera) using RMB stop working when the script is running 
Any idea how could make it work again ?
There's no way I can live without mouse gestures  |

If you want to do mouse gestures only in Opera, you could disable your right mouse button hotkey whenever Opera is active:
| Code: | SetTimer, WatchActiveWindow, 100 ; Put this line near the top of the script
return ; End of auto-execute section
WatchActiveWindow:
IfWinActive, Opera ; Update this to the correct title.
Hotkey, RButton, Off ; Update "RButton" to be the actual name of your hotkey.
else
Hotkey, RButton, On
return |

Instead of 'Lwin lctrl tab', you need to use a Send command.
| Code: | | RButton & LButton::Send #^{Tab} |

|
|
I didnt see this variation above, so here it is. This one works perfectly for me: Clicking the scroll wheel (middle mouse button) is alt-tab as we expect, but if you HOLD DOWN middle button AND SCROLL IT, then you get the alt-tab menu on the screen and can scroll up and down it. When you let go of the middle button, your selected window is activated.
| Code: | mbutton::send, !{tab}
mbutton & wheeldown::alttab
mbutton & wheelup::shiftalttab |
I dont know why using 'alttab' in the first line doesnt work (instead of 'send...etc'), but the above does work as is.

I just wanted to document my variation of the mouse replacement for Alt+Tab
| Code: | XButton1 & WheelDown::AltTab
XButton1 & WheelUp::ShiftAltTab
XButton1::Send {XButton1} |
The way it works is that whilst you hold Xbutton1 you can scroll up and down through the list of applications then release XButton1 to switch to it. The last line makes sure XButton1 behaves normally when you don't use it to switch applications.
I lost my original script and it took me a while to figure out I need that last line so I could still use it for 'back' in my browser. |
