Win+Tab not working on Vista?

I’ve just made a leap of faith and upgraded our SDL libs to the latest
versions. Since we’re delivering two gold masters momentarily, it’s probably
not a good idea :slight_smile:

On a more serious note, this upgrade does solve a couple of issues we were
having, but it looks like the Win+Tab key combination isn’t doing anything
when the SDL app is in full screen mode. Bug? Feature? Can anyone else
reproduce?

Thanks,

What is Win+Tab supposed to do? Are you talking about Alt-Tab? That
works for me with testwm -fullscreen…On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 9:13 AM, Gabriel Gambetta wrote:

No, Alt+Tab works fine. In Vista Win+Tab does something similar to Expose in
Mac, at least when you have all the effects turned on. Right now with SDL
this functionality doesn’t activate. If Alt+Tab is specifically left for
Windows to process, supporting Win+Tab should be as easy as doing the same
which is done with Alt+Tab.

On XP, Win+TAB shows the taskbar, if hidden, and indicates which
window is currently selected. Pressing Win+TAB again, changes which
window is selected, pressing enter brings the selected window to the
foreground if it is the last item in the taskbar, or for all other
items, minimises or restores the window. I think this inconsistent
behaviour is probably not intentional…
