Hi,
Please shed me some lights on this:
Apple-Tab is a shortcut to switch between applications.
However, is there any shortcuts to switch between windows under a single application?
Thanks.

Apple-` Lets you Cycle though open windows within most Apps.
If you're in the Finder it's under the Window menu on the Top Menu bar

... and Apple-tab-shift lets you move backwards through open apps...

thanks for the quick reply
Apple - `
that's exactly what I'm looking for. Can't believe it's always out there under the menu.
Thanks Nivag.

I can't believe no one mentioned Expose. It's exactly what you want, hit the hotkey or corner, and you visually see all open windows. Far superior to apple-tab imo.

On the German keyboard, it's Apple-< and Apple-Shift-< for cycling through the windows.
It's whatever is the leftmost key in the bottom row.

I generally have upwards of 20 windows, many of them near-identical looking (code or terminals, mostly). Expose is slower than cmd-tab + cmd-` for me, due to having to scrub all the windows to find the right one, rather than using the two-level tree structure of app->windows.

Awesome program - it does what I wish Cmd+Tab did in OS X - let you switch with a quick shortcut between all windows of all applications. On my 466Mhz G4 328MB, it takes a little time to load up if I have a bunch of applications running, but it's a great (and free!) app.

Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

FWIW, if you have full keyboard access on, control-(shift)-F4 toggles through all the maximised windows in all visible applications.

Huh, I wouldn't call control-F4 or control-shift-F4 that difficult (unless you mean for one handed operation? In which case, I guess it is  ).
