摘要: Some embodiments implement a linear switching application that provides functionality for between different windows based on an x-axis ordering of the instead z-axis or other prior art. The identifies array currently open and sorts leftmost x-coordinate position in array. Optionally, modifies GUI to display window identifiers each orient user on-screen. determines index current x-sorted is frontmost changes directional input provided by user.
