Add optional alphabetical sorting for context menu window list#127
Merged
Conversation
When apps have many open windows, the right-click window list is hard to scan because windows appear in discovery order. This adds a "Window List Sort" option (Preferences > Behavior > Mouse) that lets users sort the list alphabetically by title. Default behavior is unchanged: the option defaults to "default" (scan order). Setting it to "alphabetical" sorts window entries by title, case-insensitive. The left-click action (toggle/cycle/most-recent) is a separate code path and is not affected. - New WindowListSort enum in config with "default" and "alphabetical" - Config plumbing: default constant, normalizer, dataclass field, __post_init__ normalization (same pattern as LeftClickAction) - Sorting in MenuHandler._append_open_windows: only the right-click menu, not preview thumbnails - ComboBox in Preferences > Behavior > Mouse section with binding - POT regenerated with 3 new translatable strings - Backward compatible: missing key gets default; unknown key on older builds is silently ignored
✅ Deploy Preview for dockingbar canceled.
