“The window switcher for Mac”
by Cyril Roger
The preference pane item is easy to enable. Set your trigger commands by choosing the right keyboard shortcuts, then adjust their behavior. One of the things that Witch really manages to enhance is the way you can browse not only through applications but also through minimized and foremost applications. Witch also lets you zoom in and close of minimized and foremost windows.
The real trick when using Witch is to not get lost in all your keyboard shortcuts. You do not need to customize them all. Instead choose a few triggers that you will likely use often. Witch can take a little bit getting used to, especially for users not comfortable with keyboard shortcuts, however once you have gotten the hang of it you should really feel better control over your applications and windows.
Witch is a smart preference pane that lets you quickly switch between all your windows, whether foremost or minimized.

Recent changes in Witch:
- Added a new Gradient slider to the 'Selection background color' option on the Appearance tab.
- Previews can now be activated on demand only via the 'P' key (or the Space Bar)--so you can leave previews disabled in Witch's preferences, but still use them when you want them. (Hat tip to Matt Neuburg for the suggestion.)
- Fixed a problem where the timer for previews wasn't calculating correctly. (Hat tip to James Riordon for reporting this one.)
- Fixed a briefly-appearing translucent shell that appeared on fast switching. (Hat tip to Andrew Chadwick for reporting this one.)
- Removed some needless Console messages. (Hat tip to Matt Neuburg for noticing the spewage.)
- Upgraded help system now supports search, and it's ready for more features in the future.
