Window Switcher

Window-Switcher offers hotkeys for quickly switching windows on Windows OS:

1. alt + `: switch between different windows of the same application.

2. alt + tab: switch between open application. (disabled by default)

Install

Download from the Github Release, unzip the window-switcher.exe file. Then, you can simply click on the executable file to run the application directly without the need for installation.

Hotkey Trick

1. Press alt + ` to switch back to the previous working window(The focus window when alt+` was released last time).

2. Keep pressing alt, tap ` to switch to the next window in sequence, tap shift + ` to to switch in reverse.

The same rule applies to alt + tab.
