At the moment, if you have several related files, pressing Alt+O presents a menu. This is much better than the old behaviour (where it would pick a random file) but it can inhibit rapid cycling.
It would be better if Alt+O could optionally treat the set as a list and just went through it in some arbitrary order. (You can infer the current position in the candidate list, of course, so no persistent state required. Some Alt+Tab-style LRU ordering would be neat but perhaps overkill.)
The key point is that one should be able to keep dumbly pressing Alt+O until the right file appears, no hand movement necessary. Though this may not be to all tastes, hence the suggestion that it be optional.

We are considering something like this:
case=18061
This case is about a solution like alt+tab: you pressed alt+o, a list came up: press o again to iterate trough the list, like with alt+tab. |

| How do you choose which one you want? It would be better just to cycle each time you press Alt+O. Then you can just keep pressing until you get the one you want. The important thing is that one need not move one's hands away from the Alt and O keys. |

| Good catch. According to my comment, which had been added to the case, enter will not be required: just press and hold alt, then press o (listbox appears here), o again, then release alt (selection accepted) - like with alt+tab. |

Of course, yes... I use Alt+Tab every day so I should have worked that out :)
This behaviour sounds like it should be easy to use, and I'm looking forward to it! |
