In keeping with the car analogy: one *can* handcrank the motor, one just needs a vehicle that implements *that*, so like youtu.be/4SZExEgLT_0 or, indeed, running gambas on an X11 interface (xorg-server, Xnest, Xwayland...) >If all you do is the above, you've barely scratched the surface of >"remembering my window".

Stacking remembering (relative to other things you may know nothing about >like someoene else's windows) I do not think anybody seriously uses overlaps, because searching in stacks (Alt-Tab or whatever method) is kinda inefficient. People either go big screen, workspaces/virtual desktops, or (say) temporarily exiting/suspending an editor to run the compiler.
