It allows you to alt-tab through all open Windows not just Applications
- wcarss 5y agoJust in case, did you know cmd+tilde will cycle through unminimized windows of the currently active application? I originally hated Mac alt+tab behavior, but after learning to combine cmd+tab and cmd+tilde, I actually hate going back. I still dislike a lot of mac UX, and use divvy for keyboard driven window placement, but that one thing became a huge highlight for me.
- nullwarp 5y agoYeah I'm aware but I find it awkward and hard to use when I routinely have a browser and two editors open I have to remember to mentally switch keys to shift between the two sets It's just not for me
- lwkl 5y agoThank you that's a really useful shortcut to know. I just switched "back" to mac. My last mac being a PowerBook G4. While I generally like the UI/UX I didn't know about this shortcut and I have been missing it. I started using multiple desktops which works better for me on macOS than on Windows because of the way Alt + Tab works on macOS. But switching between Windows was a bit annoying in clamshell mode without the touchpad. This will be gone once I get used to the shortcut.
- olyjohn 5y agoStill no way to switch to a window that is minimized. I forget all the time that I have windows minimized, and lose them, then find them days later when I right-click on the dock icon for the app. Every other OS lets you task switch through minimized windows. Feels like Apple hasn't touched the dock in about 20 years.
- yokoprime 5y agoI love how you explained the app in one sentence, which somehow is missing from both the readme.md over at GitHub and from the website . Thanks, I'll check it out.
