Poor mac user here; just want to weigh in with the opposite: I feel bad for Windows users with their single key combination and inability to discern between cycling windows and cycling applications. Just to show that this kind of variability between DEs is good and healthy, as it better reflects the broad spectrum of user preferences.
- Steltek 5y agoWhy should I want a key that focuses a window (app) on a separate hidden workspace that doesn't also cycle to that workspace? What am I supposed to even do with a focused app where all the open work is somewhere else? Every Apple fan argues that Mac shortcuts are superior but instead I, a rabid shortcut enthusiast, end up using the mouse on MacOS for almost everything because the shortcuts are so goddamned brainless.
- wkirby 5y agoHow many monitors do you have? Do you never need to switch between multiple terminal windows or text editors or PDFs or word documents? I with cmd-` I can swap between just the windows inside the application context, and with cmd-tab I can swap between application contexts. This mental model works for me: which was my whole point; different (key) strokes for different folks.
