A couple of years ago, our entire office switched from Windows to Mac computers Sure, pretty much everybody uses Macs in the website design industry, but that doesn't mean it's an easy transition. While we really enjoyed the new Mac OS and the sleek hardware, years and years of working on Windows left me missing out on some of the keyboard shortcuts I had hard-coded into my brain. I was hooked on Apple products but frustrated without my time saving keystrokes. Happily, I discovered many of the same shortcuts existed, and there were many more I had never used before.
Though the shortcuts I chose for this post are mainly for a Windows convert, they should save you time even if you are a longtime Apple user. The keystrokes listed below can all be pushed in any order, but all of the keystrokes must be pushed and held down for the shortcut to work.
Have you ever copied information mostly text from a website and tried to paste it into an email or text document, only to have it show up all formatted exactly as it was in the website you copied it from?
It brings up a horizontal overlay window like Microsoft Windows and LiteSwitchX , which shows your applications sorted by front to back, in usage order. Like the other software listed earlier, it can sort running applications in usage order, but also includes the ability to define applications that should always or never be allowed in the list.
You can also tweak the overlay window to display vertically, as opposed to the more common horizontal display. Pricey to some, it encompasses the abilities of a number of other utilities.

That is, instead of switching between applications , to switch between windows of all applications? You can get Witch which makes alt-tab work like Windows switching between windows not apps.
However see This question if there are alternatives. Okay, one free app not mentioned here yet is Alt-Tab. It's free software! Also it has a good amount of customisability and allows to recreate your favourite experience.
The settings page should give you an idea about the range of possible options:. For me the best option is contexts. Just check their site, app is amazing and beat all other solutions and believe my, I try almost all of them. It's not yet perfect, but for me, competition is miles behind. As a user with the same need, so far Witch is really the best answer. The one drawback I've experienced, is that when you close a window in MacOS, it brings the next window from that application forward -- very annoying behavior when you expected to get back to the window from the OTHER application underneath.
I'm doubtful there will be a way to fix this behavior. For users who don't understand why Command-Tab is not a viable alternative Command-Tab brings ALL of an application's windows forward, which is not the desired behavior. Switching quickly between recently used windows without disturbing any other windows is very easy with windows-style alt-tab, and very hard with mac Command-tab command-tilde.
This way you only have to lift your finger a little higher when you want to switch windows of the current application. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.
