   Thanks for the submission. This is one of the obvious ideas that sprang to mind after adding the initial hot key support to WinSwitch. It would be a great feature. Marking as ASSIGNED.

   This particular feature will probably take quite a bit of work, but given the number of donations I am currently receiving I don't think I'll be able to dedicate the hours to it. But I'll keep this bug report open so that the feature doesn't get forgotten.

   Changing assignment to reflect my new email address.

   I'm marking all WinSwitch issues closed seeing as I personally no longer use it, and in fact haven't for around 4 years now.

   WinSwitch addressed a real problem with the initial implementation of Fast User Switching in Panther (released October 2003), namely, the excessive screen real estate that it chewed up. Apple fixed that problem in Tiger, if I recall correctly, which came out in April 2005 (or if I'm wrong about it being Tiger, then it was definitely fixed by the time Leopard came out, in October 2007).

   With this change, most of the justification for WinSwitch's existence went away, at least for me. So that's why I'm going to close all these tickets: I can't really support something that I don't use myself.

   But it's open source, so if any one wants to tackle any of these issues and submit patches, I'll be happy to accept them.
