Hi Nick, It turns out I spoke too quicly regarding the WindowsKey combined with the number keys on the Qwerty side of the keyboard. I apologize for this, and I'm forwarding a reply Chip Orange sent to me on this issue.
Thanks and apologies, Rod Hutton -----Original Message----- From: Chip Orange [mailto:cora...@psc.state.fl.us] Sent: Monday, May 04, 2015 1:37 PM To: Rod Hutton; Window-Eyes Discussion List; 'Nick Sarames' Subject: RE: Switching windows easily Was RE: Window-eyes & Sticky Keys Thanks Rod. I do have to offer a correction however; the windows key plus a number key can be used to activate items on your task bar, not necessarily open windows. My task bar has several items pinned to it before it begins to show running programs, and so if you use the windows key plus a number, you are more than likely going to start some program running. Also, windows which you have open, but which don't have an associated icon on the task bar, cannot be opened with the windows key plus number method (for instance, a window from a WE app).

Chip Orange is the author of an app called Hotwind which allows you to assign hotkeys to open windows. Also, under Windows 7 (and beyond, I assume), the WindowsKey combined with the numbers on the Qwerty area of the keyboard will activate open windows, the numbers running in the order they were first opened.

This has been a problem since Windows-7. Alt-tabbing among windows becomes quite clumsy and it takes some trying to be in the window you want.
