App Switcher

A design attempt, to give a consistent user experience accross different devices.

Goals and scope

  • allow switching between apps using (only) a pointing device
  • give an overview of all the opened windows

Proposal

Opening the app switcher:

  • use the Logo+Tab (or Alt+Tab) key combination, and hold the Logo button
  • « push » the bottom screen edge

Switching to the next app:

  • Press Tab
  • click (or tap) the app icon in the bottom panel

Highlight the next window

  • press ²
  • hover it

Selecting the highlighted window (and get out of the app switcher):

  • release the Logo key
