Quick switch between windows of the same app (like alt-tab)

[sudo-tee]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Having multiple windows of the same application like chrome/vscode I find myself switching often between the windows of the same application during the day. FluentSearch does a great job at minimising the mouse work I have to do for doing this but I still have to search for the application in the search bar when fluentsearch is not in the "process list" of my current search

Being a linux and a Mac user I got accustomed to the shortcut alt+` (alt + backtick) to switch between the windows of the same app.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be really cool if fluent search could have a shortcut for cycling through the windows/processes of the current active app.

Describe alternatives you've considered I currently use AutoHotkey to do this but it lacks the visual cue like seeing the title of the window when cycling.
I tried to use the shift+ctrl+q shortcuts in fluentsearch, but other apps end up there so there so this is not "predictable"

Additional context In gnome the feature I refer looks like the screenshot

@inkubux Thanks for the feedback. Interesting request, I find myself also needing something like that, and I will consider it for the next version (0.9.92.x).

For the time being, you might find the following useful -

You can use Fluent Search Tasks feature to make something similar to your request, by making a hotkey switch between windows of a specific process name. To make it -

1. Open the Tasks window (in system tray), add new Task project (bottom left).
2. Then right click the canvas, add Trigger -> Hotkey, register it.
3. Right click -> Processes -> Switch process and in Process Name write the process you want.
4. Right click the hotkey box and connect it to the switch process.

Finally, ot should like this - Which lets me switch between Rider windows by pressing Ctrl+Alt+R. I have created a Task like this for all my most used apps with the app name's first letter after the Ctrl+Alt+(letter).

Thanks for the quick feedback. I will certainly try the task feature, thanks for pointing that out.

@inkubux in today's nightly version I will include option to go to the previous process using Tasks as well. It is useful for me, and it does the same thing as you requested, but without a UI.

Here how it looks -

Ctrl+Alt+R -> Go to Rider without Switch to previous enabled. Ctrl+Alt+R -> Same but with Switch to previous enabled.

Awesome thanks for this. I can't wait to try it out
