What's the best way to move between multiple windows of the same app? E.g. I have multiple Cursor folders open on different folders.


The following two ways should cover everything:

1) (can be visual) you can setup cmd-tab to move between apps and alt-tab to move between one windows within an app (for example with alt-tab app)

2) (non-visual) with your window management prefix key setup two left/right cursor pairs like "JK" and "M," and use one to switch apps and the other to switch windows within an app (or maybe JL and IK in the inverted T cursor unless you're using up/down for something else)


Take a look at Witch by Many Tricks:

Among other features that might solve your problem, it lets you use your keyboard to filter by window title.


Looks great! Can it find Chrome tabs?


cmd + ` (customize in Keyboard Shortcuts -> Keyboard -> "Move focus to next window")

ctrl + downarrow (customize in Keyboard Shortcuts -> Mission Control -> "Application windows")


You mean something other than ⌘+` ?
