- jen729w 4y agoIt does, but I want to do it with an Alfred-like switcher. The problem with *-tab is that each application has no fixed place in that space. So on every invocation I have to look, find, switch. Contrast with bringing up Mail using Alfred. The behaviour is always the same, and therefore muscle-memory-learnable: Cmd+space, ma, return. Messages: Cmd+space, me, return. Near-instant for me because I've done it literally thousands of times.
- SPBS 4y ago> The problem with *-tab is that each application has no fixed place in that space. BTW Win+1 to Win+9 will switch to the first 9 pinned items in taskbar. If there isn’t an available window it will open one. I have Outlook pinned as the 4th item on my taskbar so navigating to it is always Win+4.
- Timpy 4y agoI wrote a bash script for this and binded it to some key commands in Linux Mint. Winkey+T will launch a terminal if nothing is open, or cycle through terminals if there are any open. I have other keys for other programs. I'm relatively new to Mac, looks like I need to check out Alfred.
