Switching Between Windows
« on: February 18, 2005, 02:36:49 am »
Hello,

This sounds stupid, but I can't find where my nethack went.  I installed qt nethack and that went all right.  I changed the permissions in /opt/Qtopia/games/lib/nethackdir and was able to start it up from the terminal command line and all.  But then I went back to the terminal and now I can't get back to the nethack window.  There's no icon or anything on the bottom bar.  It's strange and not a little frustrating.

Okay, I'm not so far into the game that I don't mind killing the process or whatever, but I'd still like to know if there's some general way to switch between running processes (like C-Tab in Windows.)

This is on a stock SL-C3000.

Thanks,
Eric

In general, tapping on the icon for a program a second time will bring the already running instance to the front.

Also, the TaskList Applet (http://www.elsix.org/index.php?w=project&p=877) is useful for obtaining a list of running applications, and switching between them.

I'd try the applet which doseas suggested.

It probably uses a QCop call (http://doc.trolltech.com/qtopia2.1/html/qcop.html#3) to raise the app (look in the source). Assuming you know the name (again look in the source, or guess it) you might be able to do it manually from the command line.
