The difference between alt tab/alt ~ is a feature not a design flaw. If you have a lot of windows open (I’m sure you do!) it’s a godsend not to tab through 50 of them.

- kitsunesoba 5y agoI too enjoy the distinction between the two. The lack of grouping on Windows makes window switching get really messy really quickly (especially now with Edge injecting tabs into alt-tab too). It’s one of the things that makes Windows unpleasant to work in for me.
- wodenokoto 5y agoIt's intentional, but also a poorly implemented feature. How exactly are you supposed to cmd+~ on a Danish keyboard? To type a tilde you need to option+¨, then space. Secondly, switching windows uses a strict ordering, e.g., alt+~ doesn't return you to the previous window (at least that's how I remember it working, can't check it on my Danish keyboard, so how would I know?), but cmd+tab does return you to the previous active application.
