**alttab** is X11 window switcher designed for minimalistic window managers
or standalone X11 session.
```
alttab [-w N] [-d N] [-sc N] [-mk <str>] [-kk <str>] [-bk <str>]
[-pk <str>] [-nk <str>] [-ck <str>] [-mm <N>] [-bm <N>]
[-t NxM] [-i NxM] [-vp str] [-p str] [-s N] [-theme name] [-bg color]
[-fg color] [-frame color] [-bc color] [-bw <N>] [-font name]
[-vertical] [-v|-vv]
```
(see man page for details)
<!-- ronn page has elements invalid for github markdown, don't link to it -->
Unlike task switchers integrated in most simple window managers (WM) or
dmenu-like switchers, alttab features visual interface and convenient
tactile behaviour: press modifier (Alt) - multiple switch with
a key (Tab) - release modifier.
Also, it's lightweight and depends only on basic X11 libs, conforming
to the usage of lightweight WM.
# Installation
```
git clone https://github.com/sagb/alttab.git
cd alttab
./configure && sudo make install
```
See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for details and [doc/wm-setup.md](doc/wm-setup.md)
for window manager settings.
Usually it should run fully functional without any argument: `alttab`.
