This brings to NVDA something very similar to what we have with Haws.
The attached program and script allows to display running application as a listbox allowing user to switch from one to other from there.
The windowlist.py script must be added to _default.py and be bound to some key (here, I used NVDA+shift+f10.
The python script might not be very perfect but works. It offers the possibility to translate the window content in other languages.
The program WindowsList.exe must be placed in the nvda base directory.
If this encounter interest, we will provide source code for the program written in Visual Basic.
We are also working on some similar program to display the systm tray in the same way.
Please let me know if of any interest.

Why is this necessary? You can already access a list of applications using the taskbar. I don't see any need to duplicate core Windows functionality.

Note that if we did do something like this, I'd prefer to implement it all in Python to avoid the need to bundle another executable.

Update:
There is already an add-on for this at addons.nvda-community.org named Systray list which has taskbar list functionality. Thanks.

I see no need for this. Those that do want it can use the add-on.
