You probably know about this but in situation I would use Application Chooser
than command tab.
This, as it name suggests, will list the applications running on your mac.
However if I press right arrow on any application whilst in Application Chooser
this will reveal up a list of all the windows in that application.. i can then
cursor down until I hear the window I need to switch to.
Similarly to hide all the windows open in an Application you press the left
key.
Thus in Application Chooser you can simplify the windows open across
application and have windows under a particular application hidden from view.
To then cycle through windows within an application you use either application
chooser or more efficiently window chooser if you are working within a single
application. . You can get a similar desired affect by pressing command
accent which performs a similar function to alt tab in Windows. , .
This is different from Windows but in this case I prefer the Mac way of doing
things as Application chooser in the Mac offers far more than the simple
Windows alt tab function.
