I was wondering why there is a discrepancy between the apps and windows that appear in Mission Control, versus those that show up in the application switcher (CMD+TAB
). Mission Control always seem to show more apps and windows than the switcher, and offers the "complete" overlook on what's really running.
Here is an example of two windows that are "caught" by Mission Control, but not the application switcher.
For example, the macoS Fonts window:
Or the menu of Google's Backup & Sync Finder "Share" extension:
Is there any logic and/or reasoning behind this discrepancy?
Is there any way to configure what will appear, and where?
Ideally, I would like all apps and windows (at the very least, those caught by Mission Control) to appear in the application switcher as well. How can I achieve this?
Thanks!
