Does the difference in alt-tab behavior between Windows and MacOS (with alt-` too) slow you down at all? I might venture to guess no, since your workflow sounds like largely single-window-per-program.
- ossopite 7y agoI use hyperswitch (https://bahoom.com/hyperswitch https://bahoom.com/hyperswitch) which emulates Windows alt-tab behaviour on MacOS. Not bulletproof but it mostly works.
- russellendicott 7y agoNot OP but in a similar position. I find that since I don't use the desktop switching features on MacOS I dont have a problem with the alt tab situation. I only use one desktop and just alt tab for everything. Its just a minor annoyance on Windows when alt+` doesn't respond. The worst part for me about switching back and forth between MacOS and Windows/Nix is the muscle memory around applekey+c/v vs ctrl+c/v. There isn't a way to remap keys to recreate that muscle memory on Windows/nix and keep the muscle memory for alt tab.
- samatman 7y agoSurely Windows has a comparable window-switching behavior which could be mapped to alt-` with AutoHotKey or similar? I'm not familiar with Windows post-95, but I'd do this in a heartbeat, since the change app and window shortcuts are deep in my muscle memory after all these years.
- Marsymars 7y agoI use about four different windowing workflows (macOS/Windows single/multi-monitor) regularly, and don't find switching between them to be a hassle.
- frosted-flakes 7y agoI used to regularly switch between Windows and MacOS when I was in college and found that if I used the same keyboard I'd frequently go for the wrong keys (I didn't like the college keyboards so would bring one from home). Interestingly, using different keyboards for Windows and MacOS solved that problem.
