If I was working in Safari, held down the Command key and pressed n (instead of t as shown above), I would see a new window come up. This concept still exists in just about every application. If I would like to close the tab I am currently on, I can hold down the Command key and tap the w key.īefore there was tabbed browsing many applications simply let you open a new instance of their app, but in a separate window. If I would like to open a new tab, I can hold down the Command key and tap the t key once. In these tab-based applications, I can toggle between tabs by holding down the Command and Shift keys and tapping the keys to determine the direction I will be toggling to. I may have one tab open on, while I have another tab open to, and yet another tab open to wp. Most web browsers, including Safari, provide a great example of this. In these applications you will see the ability to use the same window within the same application, but run several different tasks all on separate tabs. These days many applications support tabbed browsing. Rolling to the Option key before releasing the Command key tells the operating system that I wish to toggle up that minimized application. To toggle up a minimized program, I will perform the same basic toggle, but before removing my thumb from the Command key, I will roll it to and also hold down the Command key's next door neighbor: the Option key. But when I release the Command key, it will appear as if nothing has happened. I will be able to tap the Tab key until the application is highlighted. In this situation, attempting a basic toggle will not bring that application up and onto the screen.
Occasionally, the application I want to toggle to has been minimized to my dock. This will instantly make Safari the active application.
Once the program I would like to toggle to is highlighted, I will remove my thumb from the Command key. I will continue tapping the Tab key until Safari is highlighted. As you can see, I was running TextEdit, Safari, Screenflow, Finder, Chrome, and Keynote. Tip: The toggle pane you see on your computer will be different depending on the applications that are currently running when you attempt this.
