ALT + TAB option a like - wou5er - 08-22-2019

As i’m very satisfied about openauto Pro I was wondering is there any option or future intents to build in a multi task option... 

Now switching from kodi to openauto pro or any other application has te be done when the applications are “windowed” I prefer to use them in Fullscreen and use a option like ALT+TAB on windows/Linux...

We can simulate key strokes. Check xdotool

Thanks i had a look at it but i don't think i understand te propose of the app... cause it emulates key strokes with a mouse... but the only things i can do with the mouse is clicking and double click some times when i'm fast and accurate enough... 

How would this be practical in use .

Think i got to less of imagination of how to make this real. Could you point me out in the right direction?

This, or any similar application, can send keyboard key strokes. It means that you can simulate keyboard and send desired key strokes.

You could trigger it via GPIO of the RPI.
