| I don't know what this person is talking about... maybe it's another version of OSX. On mine, you get this effect by pushing up arrow... you don't have to stop cmd-tab or do anything else, just hit up arrow and it shows you that window. not what you want? keep going with cmd-tab. Once you've hit up arrow, it's like a mode switch, now you are in app window switching mode. Use use tilde (on english keyboards) instead of tab, and it will switch apps in this mode. go back to tab, and you are back to icon switch mode. This is on 10.11.6 anyway. Edit:
Oh, and while just playing around now, it appears instead of up arrow, you can hit cmd-1. So single handed, no gyrations. CMD-TAB to bring up the icon switcher. Hit 1 while holding CMD, switch to window switcher. Hit Tilde while holding cmd, to switch apps in window switcher. Edit2:
It has its flaws. Doesn't show "full screen" apps, doesn't seem to work if you are viewing a full screen app. I always stick with cmd-tab anyway, and for windowing I use BetterSnapTool. OSX needs a lot of help for that. |
