Description:

CoolSwitch is a little utility which came out of a discussion on
comp.sys.acorn.programmer about why there was no utility for RISC OS
which did the same thing as the Windows Alt-Tab task switcher.

Pressing Alt-Tab presents a list of tasks which have open document
windows, and pressing Ctrl-Tab presents a list of open windows for the
task which owns the topmost window. Beyond that I think things are
pretty predictable. To summarise, keep hitting (Shift-)Tab while the
little CoolSwitch viewer is on screen to step through the tasks /
windows. When you get to the one you want release Alt/Ctrl and that
window / task will be placed at the front of the pile.
