Multitasking "swapping"

General
#1

As we can see on this video, there was an option to select an already opened application without going back to home screen. It’s now disable. Does Jolla plan to bring this option back?

Thanks for the answer :slight_smile:

EDIT: It’s the wrong video, my memory plays tricks on me :frowning:

You can try this experimental feature.
In the terminal:
‘dconf write /desktop/sailfish/experimental/quickAppToggleGesture true’

Thank you. I already enabled this amazing option.

I thought there was another similar option to switch directly to another application and not permute, but my memory surely played tricks on me.

I watched the video and I liked what I saw, quick switch between the last two apps.
I have also enabled it now.

I wonder what else pherjung meant?

I thought there was an similar option. Only, instead of swapping with the last used application you could select an already opened application in one move (instead of 3).

Thanks for posting this, I’d forgotten about this little trick since Jolla1.

I found this, “a natural progression of Sailfish OS Peek gesture” (with two hands… big screens…): Value through design: Multi-touch and bigger screens from this thread, and this (2015).

BTW, there is a YouTube video for the toggle function from 2018 (the first link did not work for me), see also Sailfish OS Tips & Tricks | Sailfish OS Documentation.
