[REQUEST] Bring-To-Front Hotkey

March 7, 2012 2:43:48 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I think the usability of Fences would skyrocket if there was a "bring-to-front" hotkey implemented.  Rather than "Windows + D," which completely toggles the desktop and minimizes all windows, I'd just like to press (for instance) "Windows + F," and have only my fences (not the entire desktop) appear on the top of the screen momentarily (a-la expose style).

As soon as I double-click an icon to launch a program, the fences return to their appropriate location at the bottom of the desktop.

Please let me know if this feature already exists, and I will promptly smack myself for doing everything the hard way for so long.

I absolutely agree with this feature request. I'd pay good money for this feature. Right now I keep my windows just a little narrower than the width of the screen so I can still access the icons/fences in that strip on the desktop. That's pretty silly, but it's the best I can figure right now.

 

+1 for this feature!

I found this post via google.

 

After recently installing Fences this is an absolutely excellent suggestion and I am surprised this is not implemented yet as is seems so obvious.

 

What is the current situation regarding this?

This feature would really make Fences way more useful.  Please implement it.   Thanks
