peek under
peek at the windows under the current window without deactivating it
this can be useful if a window is maximised and you want to write down something from another window without having to alt+tab back and forth. any keystrokes will be sent to the current window even though its not visible
persistent peek
press win alt + tab to peek, when youre done press the same hotkey again or esc to stop peeking through the window
momentary peek
press and hold the left mouse button + tab to peek, then release the tab key to stop
