Rectangle user for years, great app. Today I got frustrated enough to find AltTab (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/ https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/), huge improvement to my workflow already. Sometimes when cmd+tab'ing between apps it'll bring the selected window to the foreground, and sometimes it won't. They'll regain focus for typing, but are hidden behind another window for whatever reason. Fully open windows too, not minimized or anything. Was driving me mad having to click between IntelliJ and Chrome hundreds of times while doing web UI work instead of quick switching with the keyboard.

Do you use cmd + ` (tilde key) to cycle through windows within an app? Its the key just above Tab and that's probably why it was chosen.

  Yes, that combination to cycle between windows of an app never gives me any trouble. It's when cycling between different apps (cmd + tab) that I run into issues.

contexts.app for windows style alt-tab behavior

  Contexts is a great (proprietary) app but I forgot it even had this functionality! To me, that's the least useful thing it does.

  Looks nice. I don't really have any use for the extra features though, AltTab does what I wanted and is free.

+1 for Alt-Tab-MacOS, which lets you have Windows-style alt-tab behavior on Macs. Finding it was quite literally what enabled me to finally move from Windows to Mac.
