How to alt+tab with your mouse

[chesss]

This is neat little app , which allows one to switch windows(alt+tab) with the mouse itself without having to repeatly click on the taskbar.

How to use:
Click and hold down the left(or middle/right) mouse button and rotate your mousewheel , then leave the left mouse button. Holding mousebutton down acts like holding alt down and rotating mousewheel emulates pressing tab.

IGNORE THE REST OF THE TUT. INSTEAD GO HERE
Setting it up
We will do this using Powerpro
♥ Download and install
♥ Now, powerpro is a very powerfull application, so don't get overwhelmed..okay?
♥ open the powerpro configuration window(it will open automatically the first time. Otherwise open pproconf.exe in powerpro's installation folder.
♥ goto gui tab
♥ near the bottom click on 'none' (Next to "+wheel for alt+tab" ) and select any mousebutton from the dropdown to do the switching.
Click ok and we r done!

Try it, once u get used to it , u will hate to click on the taskbar.. I am totally addicted to his for over a year now. wldn't touch a mouse without it.

ask me if u get stuck anywhere.

I have spent days trying to get the same effect on linux. but it never worked smoothly. in XFCE this wld 'break' the middle button i.e u won't be able to use the middle button for other purposes..

Well when one uses Alt+Tab, its much intuitive.. this trick simulates that..
Like, I do havea multimedia keyboard. but changing volume using Volumouse; a small free tool which can be used to change volume in numerousways suchas using scroll wheel,etc. I find that easier.. of course, it maybe personal choice.
