Remove TCMD from the ALT+TAB screen?

Post by *Woailizhi »

hi,
I have set
\MinimizeOnClose=7
in wincmd.ini and I have also set the proper settings in TotalCommander itself. Now when I go with ALT+TAB I have it, even when I pressed ALT+F4. Can I do it so that on ALt+F4, TC goes silently to the tray without leaving the ALT+TAB

With best regards,
Nuno.

No, currently not - I create an extra window just so Alt+Tab still works even when TC is shown in the tray...

Could you possibly add a little ini switch or its too much of a hassle?

Sorry for the bump.
I find this feature of showing a program that's minimised to the tray in the Alt-Tab menu annoying. I solved the problem with a small Autohotkey script:

Code: Select all

#IfWinExist ahk_class switchwin2
~!Tab::WinClose
~#Tab::WinClose
#IfWinExist
This script closes the small window that shows in alt-tab whenever you press alt-tab, so you never even see it. The TC systray icon itself keeps working.
I'm sharing this here in case someone finds it useful :D
