Could you tell us how he does it? Every time I have several windows of the same app between two displays, or one window being in the full-screen mode while the other not, I find that I can't move between them quickly or at all with keyboard shortcuts. Can't stop thinking that there must be something I haven't discovered, because the experience is miserable.
Command+tab: switch between apps
Command+`: switch between windows of the currently open app
> Command+tab: switch between apps
Problem scenario: Open two windows of a single app and place them on two different screens. Now open another app and focus on it. You want to jump between this second app and the last window of the first app, which happens to be on the other screen. Oops, you can't (or at least I can't). Command+tab will focus you on the window that's on the same screen as the window of the other app; not on the window you were focused on last.
> Command+`: switch between windows of the currently open app
Problem scenario 1: Open three windows of a single app. Now, suppose you want to cycle just between two of them (focus on one window, do something, return to the other window, do something else, return to the first window, etc.). Oops, you can't. Command+` will cycle you through all three windows.
Problem scenario 2: Open two windows of a single app, and expand one of them to full screen. Now you can't reach it with Command+`.
Problem scenario 3: Open two windows of a single app, and minimize one of them. Now you can't return to it by simply pressing Command+`. It has become inaccessible from the keyboard.
>Command+tab problem scenario
You have to use control + arrow key here. I completely agree that this is an annoyance though, and have mostly stopped making my apps full screen because of it.
>Problem scenario 1
Agreed. Ironically, I might consider full-screening or minimizing the window I don't want to loop over xD
>Problem scenario 2
Agreed again. And again, there's control + arrow key.
>Problem scenario 3
Command+` no longer works, but if you hover over the app you want while in the command+tab screen, and then press the down-arrow-key, you can select which window you want to open, and this includes minimized windows. I actually have never used this and just found out about it because your scenario made me curious.
Yes, and I wouldn't have it any other way. When I create multiple screens / spaces, it's because I want to focus on one or the other.
It allows easy switching between _windows_.
