AltTab

A decade later, My journey fixing the Mac UI is not over yet.

The pending concerns:

• Cmd+Tab should bring to front the requested window. Always. It doesn’t matter if the window is minimized, in background or whatever. Just bring it in front
• Cmd+Tab should bring the last used window of an application to the front. Not my 6 Chrome windows. Only the latest one
• Cmd+ù should behave as Cmd+` when using a ca-fr keyboard. I can probably use the remap trick for that. I tried BTT, it doesn’t work
• Cmd+X should cut everywhere. Cmd+C and then Cmd+Alt+V is just not the way my brain works. I think about copy or cut when seeing the file. Not when pasting it. Am I the only one?
• I use 2 keyboard layouts (US-en and CA-fr). Because Macs can’t have a Canadian French keyboard. Only Canadian multilanguage with unreachable curly-braces. MacOS should remember which application is using which keyboard. However, I don’t need it for each Chrome tab

A couple of months ago, the Cmd+Tab issue finally got solved using a third-party open-source software named AltTab. It finally allows to switch between specific windows and not full application. It also remembers nicely that last window that had the focus.

One problem down.
