"scriptable" branch of lwouis/alt-tab-macos
Made for use with DockAltTab (adds window previews to the MacOS dock)... it does so by sending AppleScript commands to AltTab.
- hide: Hide Overlay/UI.
- show: Show all app windows. (Regular AltTab shortcut)
- showApp: Show specific app's windows. (ignores blacklist)
- appBID: The bundle identifier of the app whose windows you want to show.
- x: X-coordinate (optional)
- y: Y-coordinate (optional)
- dockPos: (optional) Helps AltTab know where previews will be positioned / clip, (especially for docks on the right (preview 'panel' width is relevant))
- trigger: Goes to the next window, without showing Overlay/UI.
Miscellaneous / DockAltTab commands
- appSetting: Read settings applied on showApp previews.
- named: Name of the setting. (appsToShow, showHiddenWindows, showFullscreenWindows, showMinimizedWindows, spacesToShow, screensToShow, showTabsAsWindows)
- countMinimizedWindowsCurrentSpace: The number of (minimized) windows for an app (FROM the current space, especially useful for keeping minimized windows contained in the space they were originally minimized in).
- appBID
- countWindows: The number of windows for an app (in all spaces).
- appBID
- countWindowsCurrentSpace: The number of windows for an app (in the current space, especially useful for counting hidden windows (otherwise especially hard to do for the current space)).
- appBID
- deminimizeFirstMinimizedWindowFromCurrentSpace: Deminimize app's first minimized window originally minimized on the current space.
- appBID
- keyState: Whether a certain key is being pressed (see if AltTab overlay is absorbing modifier keys)
- key: Name of the key you want to check the state of.

tell application "AltTab" to hide
Some other changes I made out of personal preference / hesitation to submit a pull request:
- ignore some app's windows
- BetterTouchTool "pinned"/floating windows
- Screenhint floating windows
- Preview button order: Exit is 1st, Quit is last (opposed to vice-versa)
- faster fading (if fading enabled): 111ms for DockAltTab previews, 333ms for regular previews
- auto reopen controls after closing window (allows click spam to repeat close window quickly)
