[Bug 25642] New: using ALT-TAB for switching back to OS

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25642

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: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

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.

Confirm!
This bug affects many games in fullscreen mode. Maybe wine ignores window
managers, when app is in fullscreen mode.
Please, vote for bug if you think that it needs to be fixed.

Alt-Tab is handled by the window manager. When a pointer grab is in effect you
may need to press it twice to switch apps. Wine can't do anything special for
it because it never even sees the key.
