That’s funny. I wrote a utility to bring macOS-style window switching for Windows 10 a few years ago: https://neosmart.net/blog/2017/easy-window-switcher/

(Don’t worry, it’s still updated and maintained.)

thanks I've been looking for something like this. once you understand the cmd-tab, cmd-` behaviour from macos, you realize microsoft made the wrong ui decision with their alt-tab.

This is certainly not the realization that I have reached.

To me, "app" is an arbitrary grouping that I don't really care about. I have little mental projects in my head with a couple of windows related to them. That could be a browser window and an instance of vscode. The fact that I might have another set of windows that happen to use those same apps doesn't mean that I want them to pollute my z-index when switching back and forth.

Yes, I know about spaces or multiple desktops or whatever but for some reason those don't sit will with me.

This is awesome. I’ve been wishing for something like this on Windows!!
