Holding down cmd+tab switches waaaay too fast.

Relying on "delay until repeat" / "key-repeat" is pretty frustrating.

I like to have my settings like this, but it causes a big issue with alt-tab.

It's super easy to hold down cmd + tab a second too long, and the switching just goes bananas.

Is there any way we can either:

• Disable auto-scroll on holding down - only triggering a switch on new click of tab?
• Set some kind of delay between switches?

You set repeat to the max, and alt tab respects that and repeats quickly. Then you say it's too quick. Something confuses me here. Why not reduce the repeat speed then?

Maybe you're trying to say that alt-tab is faster than other apps like TextEdit if you hold a key there?

I know it's a weird issue :)

I've always had this setting, but back when I used hyperswitch, this was never an issue

Probably because HS does not respect the user's preference there. It's actually a refinement i added at some point to pay attention to that preference and repeat accordingly. It was previously a hardcoded timing.

AltTab uses standard macOS preferences. This means you can customize them per-app. The standard system is pretty well designed. You could set the repeat speed and delay only in AltTab, to a slower speed. See how to do that here: #719 (comment)
