Question Task switching apps?

Is there a task switching app that is available on WM5/6? I ask because I think with already two hard minimize buttons, a task switching app would be better to have mapped with FTouchFlo than a third minizing method. I do remember having one for WM2003, but it worked more like alt+tab. I may try and dig it up and give it a shot if nothing better is known about.

I tried this out with a couple of freeware progs first, TaskSwitch+ and PHM Keys.

Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to get them to work with any gesture. The PHM Keys are .lnks so I tried to set the correct cmd line argument but with no luck. I'll give those trials a shot and see if they work where these didn't.

Not a big deal since I've got the PHM Task Switch mapped to button 5 for now, though a gesture would've been nice.

I use spb pocketplus. Like it since it adds switching and you can assign it to a hardware key which is great

I used to use Handyswitcher but recently switched to wktask http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html because it's free and has better features. Both are light on memory and stable. I Tried SPB Pocketplus but like most SPB stuff, it's packaged with a whole array of unrelated features I don't need and a it's a bit of a memory hog. Being able to associate a button to switch tasks is the only feature I miss, but wktask's task bar icons are more useful. Think of wktask as all the most useful features of Wisbar Advance without the crashes and slowdowns!
