MacOS – Cmd+Tab with arrow keys

keyboardmacosshortcut

So, I used to be able to cycle through apps back and forth by holding cmdtab while pressing left/right arrow keys. I can't now that I've done a fresh install of Sierra. What happens now is when I press the arrow keys, the next or previous program opens up. I can't cycle anymore. Only tab does that now, and just in one direction.

I tried searching the net, hoping that there's just something in the preferences that I missed, but nothing close to it comes out. Help?

You can cycle through open applications by holding the Command key and tapping (but not holding) the Tab key.

As long as Command remains pressed you can use the or keys to cycle through open applications.
