How To Improve The Alt-Tab Feature With Vista Switcher
Posted On Saturday, October 17, 2009 at at 11:45 AM by My LifeIf you are looking for a way to improve the Alt-tab feature, then the Alt-Tab switcher application may be what you are looking form. Complete with large previews, nice looking graphics and customizable features, this application provides a very interesting overall experience. You can use Alt-Tab switcher with Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. For the best quality, use it along with the Aero interface.
After bringing up the Alt-Tab dialog, there are multiple hotkeys you can use to manipulate the windows: press “S” on your keyboard to select multiple windows, or choose the style you want by pressing C for Cascade, V for Tile Vertically or H for Tile Horizontally. If you want to close them all, just press X or, if you want to minimize them, press M on your keyboard. All these shortcuts operate great and will save you a lot of time. In addition, if you want to switch between instances of the same application, hit Ctrl-Alt-Tab and you will be able to switch between Internet Explorer Windows, Office documents and so on.
One useful feature is that VistaSwitcher gives you the ability to customize the preview screenshot size, the Window Style setting, how the application works on multiple monitors or even exclude applications from either the preview or the task list. Play with the VistaSwitcher options for a while until you find the settings that you enjoy the most.
If you are constantly working with multiple open applications at the same time, we advise that you give this software a try. Click here to download Vista Switcher for free.
