Feature request: "Cycle through windows" only cycles through windows on the current taskbar (for multiple displays)

Anonymous 9 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 9 years ago 2
With multiple displays when using the "Show taskbar buttons on" options of "Main taskbar and taskbar where window is open" or "Taskbar where window is open" it would be really useful if there was an option to only cycle through the windows on that taskbar.

So if for instance my taskbar was set to "Main taskbar and taskbar where window is open" and I had four Explorer windows open in total and two of those were on the secondary display then clicking on the Explorer item on the main display would cycle through all four and clicking on the Explorer item on the secondary display would cycle through just the two on that display.

I just checked it, and it works just like you described:
If you set "Main taskbar and taskbar where window is open" and open, say, five explorer windows, two of which are on the secondary monitor, then scrolling over the main taskbar scrolls between the five, while scrolling over the secondary taskbar scrolls between the two which are on that specific monitor.

If you meant something else and I misunderstood the issue, please let me know.
Under review
Unfortunately, I cannot check it now, as I have no access to a multimonitor OS, but e.g. in the example of four explorers, what actually happens on your PC?
