switch windows only on mouse click in the Window Switcher

BrawlerXOP

Currently when using the horizontal window switcher, the selection changes on mouse hover. I've lost count of times that I switched to a wrong window because I slightly moved my mouse while alt tabbing.

For eg. Let's say I have 3 windows. I open window switcher and tab to window 3, at the same time if I move my mouse and it happen to be near window 1, the selection jumps to window 1 and I end up in the wrong window. Have attached a screen recording of the issue.

I'd like an option to allow switching only using alt tab and prevent mouse from interfering with it or something like how AltTab have handled it; switch only on mouse click otherwise give preference to what tab key have selected.

In this case, I think the best approach is to only allow hover after the cursor leaves window 1. That’s how the highlight behavior in the macOS cmd tab works.

yeah! even that works

Currently because of this issue, I had to disable the window switcher and revert to using altTab. I like everything else about Tangrid especially the tabbed layout which has genuinely been a game changer for me. So hope you guys patch this in soon, so I can completely switch over to Tangrid. Cheers.
