Why alt-tab
time to investigate
i have often seen people talking about alttabbing on eol. 99% times they say "alttab", 1% "minimize"
dont you guys have windows key on a keyboard that minimizes your window? why use alt tab??? gotta press 2 buttons which makes it uncomfortable and opens useless windows. windows key gets you straight to previously opened window
what the fuck? what makes you use alt tab? please explain, this has been bothering me for years. please reveal the secret. why? why? WHY

also, "minimising using the windows key and maximising using mouse" sounds approximately 86% less cool than "alttabbing"

Re: Why alt-tab
You could call it Winimize (horrible, I know).
Many programs have the shortcut Win+M to minimize, whereas Win alone brings up the start menu (which is also a two-step input, you have to close the menu).

Re: Why alt-tab
I had windows key disabled for a while because it was one-click insta fuck-you in games if you hit it by accident. Alt-tab useful then.

Re: Why alt-tab
hmm I have win8 and this button get me to that blue squared menu always
Re: Why alt-tab
Hmm, for me it alt-tabs but also opens the startup menu that needs to be closed then. So not sure which method is actually faster.
Also yay, Chinese keyboard on the picture.

Windows+M by default minimises all Windows Xiphias (max useful too)

Re: Why alt-tab
I always use the Windows button, since i never close chrome etc, i can just click on them and watch whats up, then click back to game.
Re: Why alt-tab
in other news i regularly use win+d to jump to desktop or win+e to open file explorer
Re: Why alt-tab

I guess alttabing is just an phraseological gak like "to do google/photoshop/xerox/allah" etc. but they actually dont do that.

Re: Why alt-tab
Came here to post this.
I often use windows key instead of alt tab because I don't want to open some random thing I have minized, or I may alt tab to something on second screen which means I don't even minimize some times. But I would always use the phrase "alt tab".

Re: Why alt-tab
I just keep alt button pressed and cycle through opened windows to find the one I need by pressing tab button. It's very nice when I don't have mouse in hand and I'm in fullscreen app. Not very useful once I grab mouse and taskbar is visible.
