Hi,
can you explain in more detail how it will work with the space key? What happens if i need to use space normally inside a text editor?

Thanks Jochen

Sorry using space a modifier key is currently not possible. This will only be possible by using low level keyboard hooks. It want to avoid this (all key inputs would be filter by fastwindowswitcher all the time). Only if more user will request such keyboard combinations i will reconsider this again.
