Dec 29, 2016 On Windows computers you can switch between keyboard languages by pressing Ctrl + Shift or Alt + Shift. I haven't found such an option for macOS Sierra. The only way I see to switch between keyboard languages is by clicking the flag at the top and clicking the other language. Aug 12, 2015 If you aren’t using an Apple-branded keyboard, such as one with a Windows key, then that will double as the “Command” key on your Mac, however, Windows still uses “Control” as its modifier so while you may be used to using “Command” on your Mac, on Windows all that will typically do is open the Start menu.
I really need to find a way to switch between windows within the same program from the keyboard. Tracktion software free. For example I have two or more documents open in Word and have to copy-paste from one to another numerous times. So switching from one window to the other is really pain.
In Windows Alt+Tab does that but on a Mac, this combination only switches between programs, not windows. Do you know a keyboard shortcut for this? Thank you!
Keyboard Command To Switch Windows Of A Single App Mac Pro
- Switching between windows of the same app: Cmd+ ` (right above the Tab key)
Switching between tabs in safari, chrome and other browsers: Ctrl+Tab - You should go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard shortcuts. On the left there is 'Keyboard & Text Input'. When you click that, you'll see 'move focus to next window' line on the right. Click on the symbols and then change it as you wish :)
- I had this exact issue when I first switched over, and to tell you the truth I almost kicked myself when I realised what the shortcut was.
It’s Command+` (the tilde “~” key above Tab) - With an experienced Apple tech, you might be able to change the response of the keys to the English language.
In response to your question about changing windows within one program, I find that Cmd-tab brings up program options only. On the menu bar, under Window, you will see a list of the windows you have open. You might see numbers although I doubt it. If the numbers are there, you use Cmd-1 etc. Otherwise you can choose your window from the list. It's not the best work-around, but I would tend to have the windows open and overlapping so that I can simply choose a border with a touch/click. The cmd+ tilde is also an excellent answer and perhaps the simplest so have you tried the equivalent key on your keyboard bearing another symbol, or the tilde which appears to be next to the Z.- Thanks for this idea Gillian! I changed keyboard shortcut and ta-daa it's done :)
Thank you again.
- Though we can use command + , or there is another option called parallel desktop which helps u to work on both the os together! :)
Google it for further info!! cause i don't use mac! - The command and tab key allows you to switch between windows on a Mac
- Thanks for your comment but my keyboard looks like this http://image.cdn.sahibinden.com/photos/73/69/40/big_71736940ph9.jpg Fluke network dtx 1800 software for mac.So I don't have that key sadly :(
- I've always just used Control+Tab (and Control+Shift+Tab to go backwards). It's worked in every app I use on a regular basis. I'm tried Command+Tilde, but that doesn't work for me. Perhaps I don't have something configured correctly? Or configured oddly?
- But did that control+tab combination work for Word? I don't think so.
- Thank you Douglas but that key doesn't have a place on my keyboard (it looks like this: http://image.cdn.sahibinden.com/photos/73/69/40/big_71736940ph9.jpg )
- Seen from your picture, it's the left key besides the number '1'. And it's the '~' key on Windows keyboard.
