Whereas with Alt-Tab I press and hold the Alt key and need release only the Tab key to cycle to each window, I have to release both the Alt and ` key to cycle to the next window. For consistency, I would think the two shortcuts would work the same. That is, I should be able to press and hold Alt and then only release the ` key to cycle through the similar windows. I think you're alluding to that behavior in your previous post, but I'm unsure. I'm confused here. > Did not matter whether I started with Alt-Tab to find the app I wanted and then switched to Alt-` or I started directly with Alt-`. I did release the Alt key when wanting to move from Alt-Tab to Alt-`. I found the difference confusing at first and then found the behavior frustrating. Probably 20 years of using Alt-Tab has me expecting that I do not have to release the Alt key and should only release the ` key. > > Is there a way to update that behavior? Probably (hopefully) a one one-liner adjustment somewhere is all that is needed? I think we need to make them operate the same way. It will some time No one liner, I need to look into it further . > I want to push to GIT but I'd like to see that behavior fixed, if possible. Overall I like the new shortcut. :) Using the backtick key, which is next to the Tab key is nice too. Is that your idea or the way the Mac shortcut works? I won't pretend I invented it. Apple did one thing right with that shortcut :-) Calvin
