| Attachments: | Current application switch with Show Desktop option | ||
Given the current design it's not really a bug, but rather a feature request. And I'm unsure about it. I see pro and cons on both sides. Adding yet another config option is something I would like to avoid. So the question is rather whether that mode should not allow to switch to desktop. And on that I'm unsure. @Thomas: what do you think? Instead of making it yet another option, we could just not display the Show Desktop icon when the user is cycling through windows of the current application. I agree that it doesn't make much sense to show it there, since when you're cycling through windows of the current application, you only care about its windows.

[TabBox] Don't show "Show desktop" window when cycling through application windows When I'm explicitly cycling through the windows of an application it makes no sense to show the "global" desktop window.

Created attachment 104967 [details] Current application switch with Show Desktop option When you enable "Include Show Desktop icon" and use "Current application" switch (rather than All windows), you also see "Show Desktop" option (for all applications). I do not know if this is a bug or a feature, but I would like a "Current application" visualization (filter) that shows only windows of that application. In my opinion it makes no sense to show that "show Desktop", so if it is a feature: could you add a "hide on Current application switch" option?
