Advanced Desktop Features

Twitcher

Twitcher displays a window that lets you see and switch between running applications and their windows. To bring up the Twitcher, press and hold Control, and then press and hold down Tab until the Twitcher window appears.

With Control still held down, successive Tab strokes (or left/right arrows) will cycle through your open applications. The up/down arrows cycle through an app's windows, as named in the bottom portion of the window.

To switch to the app (and window therein) that Twitcher is pointing to, simply release the Control key. The application's window comes to the front on your desktop; if the window is in another workspace, you're taken to that workspace.

If you shortcut key is Control, then you use Alt+Tab to bring up Twitcher.
