| May 16 at 7:04 | comment | added | Zael | On a Finnish keyboard ⌘ + ´ (next to the backspace) works to cycle through Windows of the active Application (with + ⇧ to cycle backwards). [CMD+`] To cycle through tabs ⌃ + ⇥ works. [CTRL+TAB] | |

| Jan 17, 2023 at 10:33 | comment | added | Tetsujin | For a Turkish layout, see the answer below. As mentioned at the very top of this answer, this is one of the commands that changes by language/layout. Switching tabs is a different thing entirely & uses Cmd/[number] Fullscreen is a disaster, I won't defend that - nor would I ever use it. | |
| Jan 17, 2023 at 10:27 | comment | added | damdafayton | you cant switch between tabs of same app in Mac. some people advise to use cmd+` which doesnt work on Turkish Mac. Even if it works it doesnt work when the app is fullscreen. this is absolute total nonsense. | |
| Jan 17, 2023 at 9:42 | comment | added | Tetsujin | @damdafayton - it's enabled by default in Mac too, & exactly like in Windows, if you don't know where it is already, it's hard to find. | |
| Jan 17, 2023 at 9:15 | comment | added | damdafayton | omg for some very simple things apple does have 0 sense. i have been spending hours and hours for such a simple feature that is enabled by default in windows. if it wasnt for batter efficiency it is enough for me to throw away this mac. | |

| Jul 9, 2021 at 1:53 | comment | added | Erk | Interestingly enough, if connecting a PC-keyboard to the mac, it seems it's still the button just right of shift (at least on a Logitech K120) and not the actual ` on the other end of the keyboard... | |
| Apr 14, 2021 at 23:44 | comment | added | M. Beausoleil | I added an answer. The option+cmd+à doesn't work for me, but it might be the input language that is different. I tested a bunch and wasn't able to replicate the previous answer. I tested my answer on 2 keyboards and they worked fine. | |
| Apr 14, 2021 at 15:42 | comment | added | Tetsujin | @M.Beausoleil - please add new languages as a separate answer, including picture if you can find one on support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201794 There is already an answer for French Canadian & it doesn't seem to agree. | |
| Apr 14, 2021 at 15:40 | comment | added | M. Beausoleil | On a French (Canada) Keyboard, it's cmd + "ù" or cmd + shift + "ù". Works great! Thanks! | |
| Dec 23, 2020 at 2:11 | comment | added | Rajesh Goel | I am using Big Sur Beta 2 and this is not working on it. It used to work for me for the earlier release. | |
| Sep 17, 2020 at 16:21 | comment | added | Taro | I need to switch between windows of the same app that live in different workspaces (aka are full screen) with a keyboard shortcut. I'm trying the Cmd ⌘ + Tab, then Down key, but have had no success so far. Using macOS Catalina 10.15.6. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there an alternative? | |
| Aug 25, 2020 at 16:02 | comment | added | Marcel Besixdouze | The down-arrow functionality you're talking about is called App Exposé. It's great. You can go to it directly using control + ↓ , just like Mission Control's control + ↑ . Once in App Exposé, you can tab through different applications using tab or three-finger swipe left/right. I have three-finger swipe-down mapped to app exposé and three-finger swipe-up mapped to mission control so my three-finger swipe gestures completely mimic the control -arrow options. | |
| Jun 27, 2020 at 0:46 | comment | added | Gang Fang | A workaround to cycle through FULLSCREEN windows of an app (let say Chrome): 1. fn + control + F3 => move focus to dock 2. -> or <- to focus on desired app 3. arrow up to open menu of that app 4. select the desired window | |

| Mar 28, 2020 at 17:11 | comment | added | Tetsujin | @VVK -This information is right at the top of the answer. All rules change for fullscreen. One of the very many reasons I never use it. | |
| Mar 28, 2020 at 16:48 | comment | added | VVK | NOTE: ⌘ ` doesn't work for windows running in full screen | |
| Nov 1, 2019 at 8:37 | comment | added | Neithan Max | Upvote for "press the down arrow key (with Cmd ⌘ still pressed). Then use left/right keys to navigate to the desired window across spaces and desktops." !! | |
