Windhawk mod: Cycle through taskbar windows on click

Here’s another Windhawk mod that brings a 7+ Taskbar Tweaker option to Windows 11: Cycle through taskbar windows on click. It was a rather popular request on the list in Windhawk mods for the Windows 11 taskbar. The mod makes clicking on combined taskbar items cycle through windows instead of opening thumbnail previews.

    Thank you so much for this. I remember requesting this since the Windhawk release, and now where the Windows 10 taskbar broke on 22H4, I feared I had to live without this functionality for a while. Just in time!

    Very nice! Any chance we can get it so that when you click on the icon, it doesn’t make the previews above the icon disappear?

    • Thanks for the feedback. It’s actually a native Windows feature which can be activated by holding the Ctrl key, the mod merely makes the taskbar think that the Ctrl key is pressed. Your suggestion requests some extra coding, you can create an issue for it here and I’ll consider it for a future update if there’s demand for it.

    can you make new Taskbar items appear in the front of the list? I have like 60 items in a vertical task bar. I always have to scroll to find the most recent item whenever a new item is added to the list, so painful. Thanks you for the great work.

    Hi! I’ve been loving your windhawk mods! However, I have an issue where I want to use this mod and also the other mod that lets you minimize/restore taskbar window mod together but usually when I enable them both, only the latter responds. I was thinking if it was possible that you can add a function where *only reverse scrolling is allowed* to activate the mods(not both directions of scrolling) This way I can have one mod be activated by scrolling forward and the other mod scrolling backward. I hope you consider my suggestion, have a good day!
