Issues with Alt + Tab

[aksh1618]

I'm using Deepin Desktop environment on Arch Linux. I like almost everything about it, except for the behavior of Alt + Tab. There are three things that I feel are 'wrong' with the current behavior:

• When you Alt + Tab to the desktop from an app A, and press Alt+Tab again, you get to another app B instead of A. I suspect this is because A is put on top of stack instead of the desktop, so Alt + Tab behaves like we are already on 'A'. when we are actually on the desktop. Also, it'd be a relief if the desktop would retain its position in the stack instead of moving to the end everytime.

• When a file clicked and dragged, Alt + Tab stops working exept for switching between the top two stack items (current and next). This limits the workflow, as this can be used to transfer files between apps, such as uploading an attachment from File Manager to Firefox. (Additionally, the file is 'removed' from the folder it was dragged from in File Manager, refreshing shows the file again.)

• Sometimes, when there is a dialog box open in a window (like settings dialog in an application), Alt + Tab behaves incorrectly. (This one is hard to reproduce, I think it happens when the dialog box isn't displayed as a different window)

Yes, I also like Deepin Desktop but find this behavior kinda annoying. Especially the first one. Any news on this?

Switching windows from keyboard is the biggest issue for me in Deepin. Task switcher forgets the order, when windows are drawn during the switching operation.

Example:

1. I have three windows open: IDE, Browser and Chat.
2. First, I use Browser,
3. Then, I click with a mouse on IDE,
4. Now I want to go to Chat,
   1. I press and keep Alt,
   2. I click Tab (most recently used Browser flashes),
   3. I click Tab second time to get to Chat,
   4. I release Alt.
5. Now Alt+Tab should get me back to IDE,
6. Instead it gets me to Browser, because the act of drawing Browser brought it to the top of FIFO.
