![]() ![]() ![]() AltTab triggers its own “Mission Control” inspired by Windows and allows not only to select window to focus either with trackpad or keyboard, but also to to close/minimise/hide windows and quit apps from one place (…either with trackpad or keyboard). The more windows you have, the more painful it becomes to really quickly switch windows and close the unnecessary ones. Mission Control is okay and it is indeed oddly satisfying to pull the desired window down with three fingers especially given the animation and all, but it doesn’t allow user to quickly close windows or quit apps and to select a window to focus with keyboard (which is horrible UX as you can trigger it with ^Up but then can’t continue with keys and even more horrible and inconsistent as you can in App Exposé on ^Down - tss, Cupertino, tss). It also provides an option to limit the list to Active Space only (I have that on as I use Spaces for task isolation.) AltTab gives you ⌥+Tab shortcut which switches between windows, not apps, with window previews and in 2D grid, so you don’t need to tab or right arrow all the way to the end of the list but can take a shortcut with arrows. Often one needs to switch quickly between two last windows (built-in ⌘+` works only within one app and if you want to go back and forth between two, you need to alternate with ⇧⌘+`). ⌘+Tab is often useful and I still use it heavily alongside, but it switches between whole apps and across all Spaces, so with more apps opened, it becomes a pretty long list (which you’re able to navigate only horizontally, on top of that). ![]() #Copyless pc macWhat for with ⌘+Tab and Mission Control, Mac users ask? Well: Alt Tab, as promised, brings the Windows’ Alt+Tab, partly Win+Tab goodness and takes it even further than its Windows inspiration. ![]()
