           Summary: using ALT-TAB for switching back to OS
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: fieroch at web.de


It would be great to have an option for switching back to the operating system
using the key combination ALT-TAB like in windows.
I do think it's a good idea for wine-applications running in fullscreen like
games to minimize the running program after pressing ALT-TAB. So you can check
mails, incoming messages or change the music running in the background quickly
and return to the game by pressing ALT-TAB again or by maximizing the minimized
program in the panel.

Currently a lot of games ignore the key combination ALT-TAB even though it is
used in the window manager for switching programs. If you are running a game in
fullscreen and want to have a short look in your messages or browser now you
have to save the game, quit it, do your needs and then restart the game.
