# sway-alttab

[![crates.io](https://flat.badgen.net/crates/v/sway-alttab)](https://crates.io/crates/sway-alttab) [![crates.io](https://flat.badgen.net/crates/d/sway-alttab)](https://crates.io/crates/sway-alttab) [![Build Status](https://flat.badgen.net/github/checks/reisub0/sway-alttab?label=build)](https://github.com/reisub0/sway-alttab/actions?query=workflow%3Abuild) [![made-with-rust](https://flat.badgen.net/badge/made%20with%20♥/rust/dea584)](https://www.rust-lang.org/)

A simple daemon that keeps track of your last focused window and switches to it on receiving a SIGUSR1. Automatically binds Alt-Tab to the same action.

To change the key combo from "Mod1+Tab", use the `-c` flag and set your preferred mapping.
