DESCRIPTION

Witch... Have you ever wanted to switch to a certain window, not just the application it belongs to? While you can use Exposé to switch windows, doing so can be very clumsy if you're the keyboard-only type of user. And don't all of these windows look just the same when they are scaled down?

Witch lets you access all of your windows by pressing a shortcut and choosing from a clearly arranged list of window titles. Moreover, you can use Witch to...

  • Directly access minimized windows without using your mouse
  • Close minimized windows without bringing them to front first
  • Zoom, de-/minimize, and close windows on the fly

    JOSH LINDQUIST  1000% improvement in window management for OS X with this app. It's like giving your windows the ability to dance with your fingers.

    My usage:

    Minimize Window: Command M (OS default)

    Maximize Window: Option M

    Un-minimize all Front-most app windows: Ctrl-Option-Command M

    Thought I'd share my config incase you're at a loss for custom shortcut ideas. Pressing Option M in my config repeatedly toggles last window state w/maximized - SLICK. Witch makes modifying these shortcuts possible and easy with a nice System Pref module.

    GORDON142  Doesn't seem to work right with Spaces. Only sometimes displays Windows from non-active spaces.  (Version 2.0)

    DOBES  works perfectly with my Leopard. I just discovered this yesterday and I don't know how I got along without it. I prefer keyboard commands, and this allows me to unminimize windows and cycle through minimized windows without mousing, among many other things. I use command keys for Apple commands, control for Quicksilver, and Option for Witch, and now my OS is perfect!  (Version 1.0.2)
