I must say it took me some time to set a proper configuration in order to get the behavior I was looking for: cycling through ALL windows, including (especially!) minimized ones, on ALL tags, without raising or focusing them and with a preview or a notice.

  • Editing the awesome config (given above) : will only cycle through unminimized windows.
  • awesome_alttab deprecated
  • awesome-switcher for awesome 3.5
  • cycle-focus : At last! I got it working only after commenting out line 102, but not by overriding with an empty cycle_filters in rc.lua

awesome-cyclefocus/init.lua :

cycle_filters = {
  --function(c, source_c) return not c.minimized end,  --luacheck: no unused args
},

rc.lua

 cyclefocus.key({ "Mod1", }, "Tab", {
          show_clients = false,
          focus_clients = false,
 }),
