Wow, a bunch of assholes in here.
A bunch of assholes that don’t seem to realize that no one gives a shit if you don’t like Mac OS
This is a community for people who do. Grow up.
OP: thanks, I learned a couple useful tips from this.

I do like macOS, if your comment was aimed at me. In fact it’s my favorite OS. The default switcher is terrible. It’s pointless to talk about something if you think it’s perfect. This article wouldn’t even exist if that were the case. The best solution to the default switcher is literally to not use it, because it doesn’t make sense in any workflow. AltTab solves it.
Essential tricks:
- Use AltTab
- Nothing else. The Mac app switcher is terrible
Why do non-Mac users bother commenting here?
The app is called AltTab. I’m literally a Mac user.
Can it display/switch to a specific window of an open application? That's my biggest gripe with the default switcher.
Yes it can
The default switcher can do it… right click on the icon of the application.
Not for full screen windows I think
I still don't understand, how somebody at apple implemented this and just thought "ah, full screen apps and selection between multiple instances of an app, who even needs that?"
I switch between multiple instances of an app on a regular basis.
GNU Linux is the best os in existence 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
