Royal TS breaks ALT+Tab on windows

If I have more than 1 SSH tab open, if I try to switch to the last app I was working on Windows by pressing ALT+Tab once, it takes me back to Royal TS.


This only happens if I switch between tabs before attempting to press Alt+Tab.




Hi Fabio,


are you using PuTTY as terminal plugin? If so, this is a known side effect because we are using a reparenting technique to embed the PuTTY window from an external process. Switching to rebex should resolve the issue.

Thanks, that does fix it. But I was wondering if there's a chance to fix the handling of those PuTTY windows? I prefer it to rebex.


As I mentioned before, this is a side effect. Re-parenting a window is actually not really supported on Windows (see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20130412-00/?p=4683)


As far as I know, there's nothing we can do :(

Thank you for the tip with Rebex, this behavior was driving me crazy ;)
