I’ve switched to macOS from Windows 8 years ago and I still find window management completely unusable without AltTab. The thing is, on a French keyboard layout you can’t even use cmd+backtick to switch between windows if the same application, it doesn’t work. Separating cmd+tab and cmd+backtick is moronic, but it’s not even possible if you’re not using a qwerty keyboard.

AltTab and Maccy are the 2 apps I can’t live without on macOS. Rectangle used to be in that list too, but I managed to not need it anymore since Apple introduced native tiling a few versions ago. Now they just need to introduce native clipboard history and sane alt+tab, hopefully this decade.

Well… it used to be possible.

I was using an AZERTY keyboard in my youth, and was definitely able to switch windows using cmd-< and/or cmd->. (I just tried, it is indeed not possible anymore as per my limited testing, for some reason…)

Not for my taste. I like the app-centric worldview. I can understand that not everybody does though.
