Download the last executable from [GitHub](https://github.com/akiver/AltBacktick/releases) or clone the repository (`git clone --recursive https://github.com/akiver/AltBacktick`) and build it from Visual Studio\r\n2. Run the program\r\n3. Click on `Automatically start AltBacktick` (or `Run AltBacktick without installing` if you only want to run it)\r\n\r\n### Uninstalling\r\n\r\n1. Run the program\r\n2. Select `Uninstall AltBacktick`\r\n\r\n### Configuring\r\n\r\nWhen the program starts, it tries to read a possible `INI` configuration file located at `~/.altbacktick`.  \r\nThis file allows to configure the program and must be created manually if default values are not suitable.\r\n\r\nExample:\r\n\r\n```ini\r\n[keyboard]\r\nmodifier_key=ctrl\r\n\r\n[behavior]\r\nignore_minimized_windows=true\r\n```\r\n\r\n**If you edit the configuration file while the program is running, you need to kill the program process and restart it!**\r\n\r\n#### modifier_key\r\n\r\nThe `modifier_key` option allows to change the modifier key that needs to be pressed to switch between windows.  \r\nPossible values are `alt` and `ctrl`, default is `alt`.\r\n\r\n#### ignore_minimized_windows\r\n\r\nThe `ignore_minimized_windows` option allows to ignore minimized windows when switching between windows.\r\n\r\n## License\r\n\r\n[MIT](https://github.com/akiver/AltBacktick/blob/master/LICENSE)\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fakiver%2Faltbacktick","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fakiver%2Faltbacktick","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fakiver%2Faltbacktick/lists"}
