Eh I think the model they implemented makes sense. You are confusing the window of an application with the application itself.
Cmd + Tab switches between applications, or windows. If you had multiple windows of an application like Safari open but minimized to the dock, maybe you are switching to Safari the application and then opening a new window? I believe there is a command that actually pulls up the windows individually as well? Maybe CMD + 1 or something similar?
Personally I think this route is the most intuitive and makes the most sense to me, but I can empathize with your frustration. Kind of related but I generally feel annoyed whenever I use Windows for anything. It’s very unintuitive for me.
- giovani 6y agoOn my keyboard its CMD + ` by default, but I guess you can probably change it somewhere.
- spfzero 6y agoYep, it's cmd-`. I use the heck out of that when I have multiple spreadsheet windows open, or even an in-progress email window or two.
- CincinnatiMan 6y agoI recently switched to a Mac and overall the OS is superior to Windows, but Windows and Linux handling of windows just makes more sense in my mind. If you have 3 windows you are cycling through, composed of 1 Excel spreadsheet and 2 browser windows, it's very nice to just keep track in your mind of whether the window you want is the most recent in your "history" of windows or 2 ago, and hit Alt+Tab as needed. In the Mac world you have to switch between Cmd+Tab and Cmd+` depending on which you want to reach and where you're starting from, and that just seems like an unnecessary split to think about.
