> For the same reason I'm not a fan of tabs in browsers.

I _really_ wish there were a proper integration of tabs into window-switching shortcuts... like some kind of modifier. It would be excellent to be able to transition smoothly between 1) Application switching 2) Window switching 3) Tab switching. 1) -> 2) works on Mac OS with cmd + tab, down arrow when you reach the application, and then arrows to navigate... but it would be great to drill down into tabs in a nice way from there. Or even directly from application switching to tab switching, since one can quickly forget exactly which window a particular tab is in.

Witch (https://manytricks.com/witch/) has an option that allows you to treat tabs as if they’re windows, but over time I’ve found Witch more and more buggy and gave up on using it, which is such a shame.

I agree, "alt tab" with "tab support" would be nice.

But it's equally nice to use Firefox, turn off tabs, and let the window manager do it's magic (uh.. with a little help form alttab if youre on osx;)
