“Witch,” like Alt-Tab for Mac
Since I moved to mac, one of the things that I miss the most is the behavior of the alt-tab menu. Sure, OSX has the apple-tab (or command-tab) menu, but it only cycles through open programs and not open windows. This means that if you minimize a window, you can’t get back to it without clicking on it on the dock.
Well no longer my friends! “Witch” is a great program that gives you alt-tab functionality in mac. “Witch” has a whole mess of options as well, so you can set it up to do lots of task-switching-related things. Furthermore, its free. Go grab it and start alt-tabbing through minimized windows again!
Now, if I could find a way to make the “maximize” button in OSX actually maximize a window instead of just making it a little wider we’d be in business!
I assume you did some extensive searching on shortcut keys. I’m surprised that there isn’t one. A friend of mine was hassling me the other day for not using shortcut keys so I’ve been learning some here and there…so thanks for a few more tips!
Also, how long ago did you switch to a mac and how are you liking it? I’m thinking my next compy will be a mac too…but I’m still weary about whether or not I can get used to the differences.
