Hi Vinícius,

sorry for the inconveniences. I have added a view features to the swapfocus patch, because I did not like the default behavior of it.

Though I'm not using this patch any more and for that reason I won't fix the patch.
If it is really not working I will remove the recent swapfocus patch from the wiki.

I'm using now the stacker patch instead. It also provides the features swapfocus provided as well as some other useful stuff.
Imho the stacker patch is also a lot cleaner.
I would recommend you to either try an older version of swapfocus or the stacker patch instead.

Sorry and kind regards,
Aaron
