How to switch applications like Windows (Alt+Tab) on a Mac

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 02:20:12 +0900

Introduction

I will introduce how to switch applications on a Mac in a Windows-like manner (using Alt+Tab).

Since this is difficult to achieve by changing standard settings, this method involves installing an application.

In action

How to setup (macOS Ventura)

Open https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app
Click Download the latest release
Open the downloaded application
Follow the instructions to install

Now, you can switch applications using Alt+Tab just like on Windows.

That’s all.

Purchased a mac mini (2018)

Purchased a mac mini (2018)

I bought an older used mac mini (2018) on Mercari. The specs are below.

CPU: 3.2GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
Memory: 32GB
Storage: 1TB SSD

The price was 77,000 JPY

Reason for purchase

I use a mac mini with almost the same specs at work for smartphone app development, but I wanted to set up a development environment at home as well (especially for running Xcode).
I have a macbook pro, but it’s 9 years old and runs very slowly, so I hardly use it.
I wanted to develop iOS apps personally.

Immediately installed Xcode and IntelliJ IDEA

The Xcode version is 14.3 (14E222b)

The IntelliJ IDEA version is 2023.1

Let’s get to developing!

Recommended PC Peripherals

Recommended & Desired PC Peripherals for an Active Engineer

Keyboard

When it comes to keyboards, I highly recommend those with a durable capacitive non-contact (electrostatic) switch. I have owned a RealForce for over 10 years, and it is still working perfectly today. The model I use is the English layout, silent version.

However, recently I’ve also been interested in the Logitech MX Keys keyboard.

Trackball

For pointing devices, I recommend a trackball over a mouse, as it reduces fatigue.

I currently use the Logitech MX Ergo. This is an expensive device costing over 10,000 yen, but I think it is well worth the price.

I am also interested in the DEFT PRO (M-DPT1MRXBK), which has a large ball and is operated with the index and middle fingers.

Display

Any display will do, but I recommend a high-resolution 4K display.

Currently, I use a DELL 4K display.

Right now, I would love to have a wide display like an EIZO display or a DELL display.
