    I just want a list of all my windows, like pretty much every other window manager does. This just makes finding the correct window take more keypresses.

      There’s numerous ways to accomplish this. If you want the windows of your current app, “App Expose” (Ctrl+Down, and then Left/Right/Up/Down to select) is what you want. If it’s all the windows, “Mission Control” (Ctrl+Up, granted you do have to click the window with the mouse) is what you want.

        I don’t want to click anything. I want keyboard shortcuts. Windows of the current app is also not what I want.

          Alright, just tried it out here’s how it works. cmd+tab to go to the application you want, if you’re good there, let go and you’re in the app. If you want a specific window of that app, press the down button to see all of the windows of that app and then use left/right arrow to select the window you want, and enter to select and focus, or esc if you saw what you needed to see and want to get back to what you were doing.

          I’m not an Apple fan boy (other than I have not been happy with any PC hardware). I would love Linux on my M4, for now it will suffice on my server, my desktop, and my kids’ computers. I’m just tired of folks authoritatively crapping on things they may not have experienced or played around with. Same goes when folks crap on KDE or Gnome.
