Add more shortcut groups (currently 2)

[alt-tab-macos-bot]

This issue was opened by a bot after a user submitted feedback through the in-app form.

From: [email protected]

Message:

Add "Shortcut 3", "Shortcut 4" setting slot

Typical use case:

1. Switch to all windows of all apps across all spaces/screens
2. Switch to all windows of the active app across all spaces/screens

I have found that a third usage is also quite helpful and needed for me: 3. Switch to all windows of all apps in current space

And other people may need a 4th, or 5th.

Please kindly consider add a couple of new setting slots! Thanks! Love this tool.

That's me

[PrayagS]

Thanks for creating the issue.

@lwouis Can you please let us know your thoughts on this? Is this blocked by something?

[lwouis]

@PrayagS it's a good idea, and i've been thinking of doing it for years. I thought about a dynamic amount of shortcut like you click a + button and get a new one and can add as many as you want. That's complex on many levels though (dev, QA, "customer" service, etc), so probably just hardcoding 4 or 6 would do it for now.

The reason i'm not very active is that i have no time for this project anymore: https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/issues/1179

[PrayagS]

Ah I see. Thanks for getting back with your view on this.

Also, thanks for writing this tool. It took me 5 minutes after my first boot of MacOS to realize the need for this tool haha.

I hope the community jumps back in and contributes. Maybe I should too learn Swift sometime :)

[daniel-zeng]

Appreciate you so much for writing the tool @lwouis! I think having a hardcoded 4 or 6 would definitely be currently sufficient, if it's not too difficult to update. Thank you!

[daniel-zeng]

Amazing, thanks!

[GJRobert]

Thank you so much for implementing this @lwouis It's a killer feature for me. Now I don't need to use Witch and HyperSwitch anymore. Just this best AltTab.

[lwouis]

Please direct your gratitude towards @decodism. They are the one who implemented this particular ticket 🥳

Thanks to @decodism ! (per attribution by @lwouis )

I still want to pay gratitude to @lwouis for starting this lightweight but swiss-knife-like app which facilitates our macOS life 😃
