TabLift v2.0

What’s Changed

• ⚡ New: Window switcher overlay: A compact, fast panel appears while cycling with ⌘+` so you can see all windows of the current app and jump instantly.
• ⚡ New: Dock previews with window controls: Hover the Dock to see live, clickable previews with the red/yellow/green buttons and smoother motion that stays in sync as things change.
• Smarter Dock click behavior: Optional toggle to minimize all when windows are up, restore all when they’re down, and just focus when the app isn’t frontmost.
• More reliable everyday use: Handles brief macOS “not ready yet” moments (like right after wake or screen locks) so actions happen when they’ll actually work.
• 🪲 Performance and stability: Smoother animations, better title scrolling for long names, fewer edge‑case glitches, and improved consistency across displays and restarts.
