Mac OS Keyboard Shortcut – Switch Between Windows of the Same Application

keyboardkeyboard shortcutsmacos

I often use the Cmd+Tab shortcut to switch between different applications (for example: Xcode and Google Chrome), but is there a shortcut to switch between different windows of the same application (for example, from one window in Google Chrome, to another)?

Best Answer

The default shortcut is Cmd` (that's a backtick).

You can always change that shortcut if the given one does not work out for you. Go to System Preferences → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts.

Here, assign a custom combination to

  • Keyboard » Move focus to next window (under OS X 10.9 and above)

    Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Keyboard » Move focus to the next window in application (until OS X 10.8)

    Keyboard Shortcuts

This will allow you to toggle between the open windows of any application.

Note

Cmd` works only if all windows are on the same workspace (comment @thias)
