I can reproduce this with gesture bindings, but have no idea what's causing it. It happens every time in Windows 8. In Windows 7, it often works, but sometimes, you get stuck in the Task Switcher. My only thought is that perhaps Windows expects you to hold down the alt key for a certain period after tab is released, though I've no idea how long and wasn't able to reproduce it by pressing alt+tab really fast myself. If that's so, that's very annoying. Thoughts welcome.

Hmm. For fun, I made an autoHotkey script that just sends alt-tab when i press a keystroke. That works, so I don't think alt needs to be held down for a specific amount of time, unless of course they're aware of something we're not, and simulating it already.

Like you, I've tried hitting both keys rapidly, letting go at the same time etc. Here it always switches properly using the real keyboard.

Just to narrow it down, tried running a portable as admin & regular privileges, same results. So this is a truly strange one.

@jcsteh Since you were able to reproduce this as mentioned in #3302 (comment), can you please retest this and update us about the current standing of the reported issue?

Don't have one of these displays, but tested with the following entry in %appdata%\nvda\gestures.ini:

[globalCommands.GlobalCommands]
kb:alt+tab = kb:f11

This binds f11 to emulate alt+tab.

For me, this now works as expected. However, I'm using Windows 10 64 bit. Closing as works for me, but if someone experiences this on Windows 8, we should reopen.
