Description Aaron Wolf 2019-04-18 05:03:04 UTC
SUMMARY

The alternative version of Navigation Trough Windows only allows one to go to the next window. None of the normal functions to continue through the windows, go back etc. are possible. So, it can only go back and forth between two windows when using the recent-window setting.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable a keyboard shortcut on the Alternative tab of Navigation Trough Windows settings
2. Use the shortcut and hold down the modifier key
3. Press the action key again and/or try using the arrow keys

OBSERVED RESULT

After first switch, no more switching can happen

EXPECTED RESULT

Behavior just like the Main setting just with whatever different filters or visualization

> Which shortcut are you using?

I tried several different arbitrary shortcuts. The behavior was identical in all cases.

Same problem on Arch Linux.
I tested alt+f (all windows) and ctrl+. (current app).

It's hard to say without prior analysis.
