anyone know if there is the opposite for windows, where alt tab will switch between applications not windows

  Yup; that’s one of the few things that I missed when I left macOS so I wrote a tiny app that adds that functionality to Windows. Free download: https://neosmart.net/blog/2017/easy-window-switcher/ https://neosmart.net/blog/2017/easy-window-switcher/ I actually mostly only missed that and iMessage; the latter of which led to this very long story: https://neosmart.net/blog/2018/imessage-for-windows/ https://neosmart.net/blog/2018/imessage-for-windows/

    Couldn't you have used https://airmessage.org/ https://airmessage.org/ ?

      That wasn’t around (this was five to six years ago).

        Oh, ok!

    Thanks! This is great for one piece of the puzzle, but it's being able to switch to an app and all it's windows come forward that I miss the most.

      Oh, I intentionally did not include that because I found it to be anti-pattern. I most often have a terminal window and one other window from another app (browser, editor, etc) visible at once as a sort of "in-tandem active pair" and would hate if switching to the specific browser window I want (via a keyboard shortcut) would cause other browser windows to come to the foreground as well, obscuring the second half of what I am currently working on (just because it's from another app).
