Hi, 

Plenty of us are big fans of alt+tab to switch back and forth between the 2 last used application, what about giving this posibility by using a hot corner just like you can do on Mac Os?

Thanks for the feature request. Have you tried the "Overview" setting for a hot corner? That allows you to switch between application windows.
There's also "Toggle window switching" which does exactly what alt-Tab does by default.

Will either of these work for what you want?

Hi, 

The ALT+Tab behavior im talking about is the short press, not the long press, the short press does not show an application overview but switches instantly on the previously used application this is very useful for many purposes.

The two options you mention open an application overview, then you need to click ; if i my hot corner is top right, I have to go all the way to the left and click to select the application.

Kind regards
