After going fairly deep into the rabbit gap of app/window switchers from Hammerspoon, “Alt-Tab” and different third-party apps, I spotted there’s a single setting that might make the method adequate: Having the ability to swap apps with Cmd+Tab however bringing solely the final used window of chosen new app to the entrance. Does such a setting exist?
My use case is the next: For instance I’ve a browser and a textual content editor facet by facet, with one other fullscreen browser window within the background. I wish to use Cmd+Tab to change between the 2 home windows I’m utilizing facet by facet. Presently, each browser home windows woud come to the entrance with Cmd-Tab, hiding the textual content editor.
I’m conscious that I could make “Alt-Tab” app use the Cmd+Tab keyboard shortcut to cycle by means of all open app home windows. Nevertheless, I wish to keep away from the litter and solely see every app as soon as within the app switcher, similar to within the inventory MacOS app switcher. I might additionally wish to keep away from introducing one other keyboard shortcut for window switching if potential.
There appear to have been associated posts right here on StackExchange however so far as I can inform largely greater than a decade in the past. I’m hopeful that Apple has improved its app/window switching within the meantime 🙈
