- gcb0 8y agoeven windows have better UI. on a Mac you can't even alt-tab between two terminal windows. ridiculous.
- frou_dh 8y agoWhat's ridiculous is condemning something based on your own ignorance. The keyboard shortcut is Cmd-Backtick ("Cycle Through Windows") and it works in all macOS applications. There's simply a more sharply defined distinction between applications and windows. Cmd-Tab is for application switching.
- gcb0 8y agoyou happen to be talking to someone graduated in UX design. and from my high horse I often don't fall for personal taste when writing UI critic :) if the user wants to move to a terminal window they have open in the background, which key combination do they press? alt+tab or alt+backtick? they have to stop and actively think about which current window is highlighted. is it the browser? or another terminal? this completely kills the action fluency of a keyboard shortcut.
- tkxxx7 8y ago> is it the browser? or another terminal? This is generally a non-issue, but even if you are getting tripped up consistently, the OS literally tells you at all times what application currently has focus
- bytebuster 8y agoof course you can, it's just another hotkey.
- Ultimatt 8y agolol try pressing command instead of alt :Z

- PascLeRasc 8y agoPeople have already given you the answer, but macOS also supports tabs in nearly all the stock apps, so CMD+{1,2,...} is an even nicer way to work with multiple terminal windows, if you're not a fan of tmux. I don't think any stock Windows applications allow tabs.
