Manage apps from the Application Switcher
Authored by: Creig on Aug 04, '10 10:07:46AM

Additionally, if you continue to hold the Command key down after switching to another application, use the up or down arrows to show a view of all the open windows in that application. You can now release the Command key and use the arrow keys (or mouse) to highlight which window you want to activate, then hit the Return key to bring it to the front.

If you don't see what you wanted, hold the Command key down again and repeat the Command-Tab or Command-~ to move in the Switcher and repeat with the arrow keys.

Manage apps from the Application Switcher

Thought I knew everything about Application Switcher, didn't know this about holding the Command button and hitting up / down arrows.

While I hope all the old hints don't start getting repeated I was glad to see this comment.

Moreover, if you hit the space bar while browsing your open windows this way, you get a full-size view of the highlighted window.

Hmmm... wonder if the up & down arrow key part is peculiar to Snow Leopard. I tried it several times on my Leopard machines and the up & down arrow keys do nothing.
