Keyboard Shortcut For Switching Apps Mac

Posted on  by 

I really need to find a way to switch between windows within the same program from the keyboard. For example I have two or more documents open in Word and have to copy-paste from one to another numerous times. So switching from one window to the other is really pain.

Oct 25, 2012  You should go to System Preferences Keyboard Keyboard shortcuts. On the left there is 'Keyboard & Text Input'. When you click that, you'll see 'move focus to next window' line on the right. Click on the symbols and then change it as you wish:). Jun 13, 2015  With the move to full screen apps, there is one feature that OS X still lacks. Maybe it'll be fixed in 10.11 Command + Tab does not switch between full screen apps. They don't even appear in the app switcher. Also cannot toggle between full screen windows in a given app using Command + Why. Safari has some other great keyboard shortcuts, too: ⌘+T opens a new tab, and ⌘+Z reopens the last tab you (possibly accidentally) closed. If you want to reopen an accidentally closed tab in.

In Windows Alt+Tab does that but on a Mac, this combination only switches between programs, not windows. Do you know a keyboard shortcut for this? Thank you!

Keyboard Shortcut For Switching Apps Mac Os

  1. Switching between windows of the same app: Cmd+ ` (right above the Tab key)
    Switching between tabs in safari, chrome and other browsers: Ctrl+Tab

  2. You should go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard shortcuts. On the left there is 'Keyboard & Text Input'. When you click that, you'll see 'move focus to next window' line on the right. Click on the symbols and then change it as you wish :)

  3. I had this exact issue when I first switched over, and to tell you the truth I almost kicked myself when I realised what the shortcut was.
    It’s Command+` (the tilde “~” key above Tab)

  4. With an experienced Apple tech, you might be able to change the response of the keys to the English language.
    In response to your question about changing windows within one program, I find that Cmd-tab brings up program options only. On the menu bar, under Window, you will see a list of the windows you have open. You might see numbers although I doubt it. If the numbers are there, you use Cmd-1 etc. Otherwise you can choose your window from the list. It's not the best work-around, but I would tend to have the windows open and overlapping so that I can simply choose a border with a touch/click. The cmd+ tilde is also an excellent answer and perhaps the simplest so have you tried the equivalent key on your keyboard bearing another symbol, or the tilde which appears to be next to the Z.

    • Thanks for this idea Gillian! I changed keyboard shortcut and ta-daa it's done :)
      Thank you again.

  5. Though we can use command + , or there is another option called parallel desktop which helps u to work on both the os together! :)
    Google it for further info!! cause i don't use mac!

  6. The command and tab key allows you to switch between windows on a Mac

    The company that sold this to me on Amazon, Imprintables Warehouse, called me at my office to see how I liked the unit. Basically design it in CorelDraw or AI and send it straight to the cutter without a second step.Getting back to my problem with the 64bit x6, well thats not supported, but with a litte work and a patch - voola! Now, how did I know where to start? Gcc expert 24 mac software. Not to sell me anything ( as he confirmed that he couldn't sell me anything because he was in service calls) and not because I called or emailed saying I was having a issue - just a SERVICE CALL to make sure it was working to my expectations. When i told 'TREVOR' about the same problem I was having, he gave me his cell phone number and told me to call him when it was convenient for me, and anytime after I needed something.

    • Thanks for your comment but my keyboard looks like this http://image.cdn.sahibinden.com/photos/73/69/40/big_71736940ph9.jpg

      So I don't have that key sadly :(

  7. I've always just used Control+Tab (and Control+Shift+Tab to go backwards). It's worked in every app I use on a regular basis. I'm tried Command+Tilde, but that doesn't work for me. Perhaps I don't have something configured correctly? Or configured oddly?

    • But did that control+tab combination work for Word? I don't think so.

    • Thank you Douglas but that key doesn't have a place on my keyboard (it looks like this: http://image.cdn.sahibinden.com/photos/73/69/40/big_71736940ph9.jpg )

      • Seen from your picture, it's the left key besides the number '1'. And it's the '~' key on Windows keyboard.
