Max OSX: Switch between windows on the same application

Well, the truth is that I’m getting crazy with Max OSX’s shortcut. I honestly miss the underestimated button home/end and pageUp/pageDown.

The funny thing is that everybody claim that Mac OSX has good usability grade, but most of the time, when I was asking a question like:

  • what is the shortcut for the home/end in the terminal
  • what is the shortcut to move word by word in the terminal
  • what is the shortcut to do $functionX

I got answer, but mostly the answer was something like: 

  • I don’t use that function
  • I don’t know, I use the mouse
  • You don’t need that… don’t use it
  • uh?

Anyway, after some time trying to solve this mystery I finally found out that how to switch between two windows belonging on the same application: 

  • Command + ‘ = Switch between windows on the same application
  • Command + ` = Switch between windows of finder 

Personally, I would have preferred to have them inverted, because the ` is above the tab and is easy to reach than the other one (which is on the other side of the keyboard, for US key tabs), It will take another month to understand how to remap it 🙂 

But ok, a short step ahead and no step backward 🙂
