I used <a href=\"http:\/\/manytricks.com\/witch\/\">Witch<\/a> to move between all opened windows of all applications but it stopped working a month ago. Actually it worked but with a delay of 30s after each <strong>Atl+Tab<\/strong> which wasn&#8217;t usable at all. Recently <a href=\"http:\/\/manytricks.com\/witch\/\">Witch<\/a> became a payable application and I would consider buying it ($19 is a bit too much for only one feature I used &#8211; hack I really liked it) but I couldn&#8217;t figure it out why its response time was so long. Then I searched half the web and I couldn&#8217;t find the solution. I played with Keyboard shortcuts and with a bit of luck (damn UI which is not so friendly and not so obvious) I hit the right spot. So here is how to do it:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>System preferences<\/strong> -&gt; <strong>Keyboard<\/strong> -&gt; <strong>Keyboard shortcuts<\/strong> (tab)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Select &quot;<em><strong>Keyboard and text input on the left<\/strong><\/em>&quot; <\/p>\n<p><strong>Double click<\/strong> ON the <strong>command sequence<\/strong> on the right of &quot;<em><strong>Move focus to next window in application<\/strong><\/em>&quot;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pim.famnit.upr.si\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/osxkeyboardshortcut.png\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>I first tried to double click (and right mouse click) on the whole line since the whole line is marked in blue if clicked! But nothing happened. This really was a weird interface decision &#8211; marking the whole line but make double clickable only a small part of it? An Edit button would help as well! And the &quot;oh so great combination&quot; that Apple chose for us is not so<br \/>\ngreat if non-US keyboard layout is used :(.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Since It was kind of strange that keyboard shortcuts could not be changed I played with it and, as already said, with a bit of luck I hit the right spot. Luck should never be a part of user experience in interaction with an interface! Interface should be more friendly! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one cost me one hour today.
