The
switch task window allows you to switch tasks for a short while. When you record a
task in the Input window
and click the "Pause" button, the switch task window will show
up. The switch task window is very handy when you have short interruptions while working on a task. It allows you to
log those interruptions quickly, and then get back to your main task by
clicking the 'Resume' button in the Input window. Progress reporting is not available in the switch
task window.

- 'Projects list': the list of projects to select from.
