Exposé’s built-in window switcher

ExposeDid you know that Exposé has a built-in window switcher?

I didn’t. The details are buried down at the bottom of Apple’s Exposé web page where I missed it.

Activate Exposé and then hit the Tab key. It will bring all the active windows to the front app by app.

Here it is helping me to choose which Safari window to jump to:

Expose_tab

How useful this is to you will depend, I guess, on your workflow, whether the normal ⌘-Tab is enough for you and whether or not you already use Peter Maurer’s excellent Witch window switching app:

Friday, January 20th, 2006

TextpanderTextpander is an app that saves time and effort by storing frequently typed text (or snippets), which you can then insert as you type with a user-defined abbreviation.

The developer has released it recompiled as a universal binary, ready to run on the new Intel Macs.

Textpander is donation-ware and is available from the developer’s web site.

(Witch, a neat window switching utility, has also been released as a universal binary).
