I'd really like to be able to trigger this with touchpad gestures like three finger swipe. I miss that from Windows, and I'm not too sure how to set that up with BTT.

I use a BetterTouchTool script (to toggle on 4 finger swipe up & down (but it's up to you)), if you're willing to buy it it comes with a trial I believe, (hooked up to the script below) and a custom app (which I'd gladly share, which sets AltTabSwitcherOpen to 0 when a click hides the AltTab preview overlay).

The script:

tell application "BetterTouchTool"
	set overlayState to get_number_variable "AltTabSwitcherOpen"
	if overlayState is equal to 0.0 then set_number_variable "AltTabSwitcherOpen" to 1.0
	if overlayState is equal to 1.0 then set_number_variable "AltTabSwitcherOpen" to 0.0
end tell
tell application "System Events"
	#hide (Esc)
	if overlayState is equal to 1.0 then
		key code 53
		return
	end if
	#show (Command+Tab)
	key code 48 using {command down}
	# move back a preview (Left Arrow)
	delay 0.02
	key code 123
end tell
