Is there any program or way to make Mac OS X's ⌘Tab(Command-Tab) behave like Windows' AltTab?
That is, instead of switching between applications, to switch between windows of all applications?
I do know there's a way to switch between windows of the same application using ⌘`, but that's not what I want either.
I'm not just trying to make Mac OS X behave like my recent former OS, I've been a Mac user for over two years and before that Ubuntu. After using Expose and ⌘Tab I think Windows' or Ubuntu's AltTab is better.
Sorry Pablo. AFAIK you can't change that behavior. In the end we are talking about completely different operating systems here. Not every detail can be mimicked by the other vendors. I learned to live with Exposé. If this approach is better or not is arguable. ;-) – lajuette – 2010-09-29T07:51:11.667
I rarely use Exposé. ⌘-tab and ⌘` are good enough for me. Having said that, I've heard good things about Witch mentioned below. – fideli – 2010-09-29T12:37:37.100
5Try this:
switch between applications using Cmd-tab, but hold the Cmd key after you released the tab key, and while still holding the Cmd key, press up- or down arrow. This brings up Expose right from program switching. – Florenz Kley – 2012-10-22T21:08:27.910
2+1 for this question, especially when using a non-US keyboard where the ` key is on the right side of the keyboard. – martin jakubik – 2013-01-31T09:56:41.150
2Ignore first comment from lajuette. incorrect. Yes, there is a program which does this. 'Witch', see accepted answer. – malatio – 2013-07-12T18:29:40.663
You mean "behave like non MacOS' alt-tab". This
⌘
makes me sick. – Pierre de LESPINAY – 2013-08-07T08:18:05.647Windows Emulator – Butzke – 2013-12-18T12:06:50.303
