Bug ID: 394603
Summary: Don't put minimized windows to the end of ALT-TAB
stack in MRU mode
Product: kwin
Version: 5.12.4
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: tabbox
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: a...@khv.me
Target Milestone: ---
Set "Recently used" for "Sort order" in Task Switcher options and then:
- open 3 windows (A, B, C) one after another
- minimize window C and windows B will become active
- press ALT-TAB and window A will become active
The desired behavior is to activate window C that was minimized. It is how
Windows, MacOS and even Gnome will behave in that situation.
I understand that it could be done intentionally, but then could you please
implement a checkbox in Task Switcher options to make it optional.
I am not alone asking for that feature. Here are some discussion threads:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=101211
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=99625
Currently I have to apply the below patch and recompile KWIN every time I
install KDE.
