I just witched to MAC Operating system few days back from Windows. As working for a long time on windows, its really difficult to manage with MAC OS. Anyways i need a Windows Alt tab replacement for my Mac computer. Do you have any idea or suggestion regarding the same ? Please help.
In Mac OS X hitting Ctrl-F4 will cycle through your non-minimized windows.On a laptop, you'll need to hit fn as well. You can change the shortcut key in the keyboard shortcuts section of the keyboard and mouse system preferences. Or you can even try Witch for Mac OS X..This will work like the windows Alt Tab in MAC OS.
Features
- Choose the sorting order of Witch's windows list (application activity, window acticvity, etc.)
- Directly access minimized windows without using your mouse
- Close minimized windows without bringing them to the front first
- Zoom, minimize/deminimize and close windows on the fly
It is incredibly easy to set up. Just assign a few keyboard shortcuts and start switching windows.
Download Witch for Mac OS X.
If you have multiple documents open on MAC Computer, to scroll through the different windows hold down the Command key plus the ~ key to flick through your windows inside an application. The ~ key is located just above the tab key. Or you can simply Press F9 and this will show all open and unhidden windows to fit on a single screen.
You can either go with a application called LiteSwitch which has been called by some a Mac OS implementation of the Alt-Tab feature found in another unmentionable operating system, but LiteSwitch X offers a whole host of other features like drag and drop support, application exclusion, application termination and window layering control.
I think pressing Command and tab is a basic keyboard command to replace Alt-Tab on Windows to scroll through your open applications on MAC.
