....hold the Apple key down and click Tab,.....it DOES cycle through the programs that are open, that's the point. just stop on the one you want to have active.


Aha! thank you eta, this morning it worked fine just as you say. Don't know what I had been doing wrong. However if more than one file is open within a given program, in order to cycle through them it's still necessary to resort to "Window", picking them out one at a time

Note to Mac if you're listening: First of all we need a means of copying personal editing macros into all the toolbars for instant use anytime. One of these would cycle through not only the programs in use but also the files open in each program. Thus you cold sit back and find the one you needed using only the mouse


well, there is this: Witch. it's great, and it used to be free, but now it costs a few bucks.

you can also use Expose, which is built into your system. try hitting the F9 key.

I also just ran across this: Mac Switcher bundle which you might look into.
