Any plans to enable the Last Active Click Feature for Taskbar?

I tried to find anything related to that on the forum and only found that "bug report"

I noticed that Start11 doesn't have the same behavior as the default W11 taskbar when clicking on an active process/software with multiple windows. (ex: Explorer or any browser)

Basically, it does "nothing", however, if we wait a second with our cursor still hovering the app icon, we actually get to see the multiple windows and we then can select whichever we want to focus.

The hovering part is the intended behavior, which is also the default W11 taskbar effect too.

Yet, on default W11 taskbar, we can click on the icon and it will focus the last active window for the process.


I searched online a little bit and found out that I might had a registry tweak enabled before installing Start11.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"LastActiveClick"=dword:00000001


Basically, that tweak allow to switch to last active window on click without having to hold CTRL key.

I just tried on my installed Start11 taskbar and the effect perfectly works when holding CTRL.



Any plans to add this feature to Start11?
