| Nov 25, 2024 at 20:43 | comment | added | floydaddict | the question is not about ⌘+tab, it's about ⌘+h. I also miss the old behaviour and I'm searching for a way to replicate it. Sadly some people are of good help | |
| Jun 3, 2024 at 18:45 | comment | added | Aivar Paalberg | Pre-Lion behaviour of cmd-tab (as already stated as well) was: "Switch application - cycle forward"/"Advance to next app". | |
| Jun 1, 2024 at 14:33 | comment | added | Marco | Pre-Lion behavior: Command-Tab: Switch to the next most recently used app among your open, non-hidden apps. | |
| Jun 1, 2024 at 7:00 | comment | added | Aivar Paalberg | I post it 4th time: "Command-Tab: Switch to the next most recently used app among your open apps.". IMHO it’s quite obvious that app you just quitted isn’t among the open apps. | |
| Jun 1, 2024 at 6:20 | comment | added | Marco | There are clearly exceptions to that general rule. For example if you cmd-q then cmd-tab then it does NOT switch to the next most recently used app (because you just quit it). cmd-h was another exception as it used to send the hidden app to the back of the list. | |
| May 31, 2024 at 19:26 | comment | added | Aivar Paalberg | "cmd-tab selects the next application in the stack. This has always been the case and it always will be the case." - From Apple documentation (Mac Keyboard Shortcuts > Cut, copy, paste, and other common shortcuts: "Command-Tab: Switch to the next most recently used app among your open apps.". Hmmm.... should I trust random guy in internet or Apple documentation. Tough call. | |
| May 31, 2024 at 12:24 | comment | added | Marco | cmd-tab selects the next application in the stack. This has always been the case and it always will be the case. The difference in cmd-h is that it used to send the hidden application to the back and it no longer does. | |
| May 29, 2024 at 11:18 | comment | added | Aivar Paalberg | In order to solve the problem it must be identified. Pre Lion cmd-tab was: "Switch application - cycle forward"/"Advance to next app". Now it's "Switch to the next most recently used app among your open apps". So in order to achieve desired result it's not enough to make cmd-h move application to the rightmost position; it also requires changing behaviour of cmd-tab (so that it doesn't return to the last used application but advances to the next app instead). And... I don't have personal preference about this subject as I never hide applications. | |
| May 29, 2024 at 7:14 | comment | added | Marco | cmd-H used to behave in a way I like (pre-Lion). You like the current/post-Lion behavior better. Nobody is right or wrong. It's personal preference. | |
| May 28, 2024 at 17:30 | comment | added | Aivar Paalberg | This is not matter of personal preference. This is matter for what keybindings are meant for. It doesn’t matter if cmd+h would be able to move app display to the rightmost position because cmd+tab (always) returns to the most recently used application. This is how cmd-tab is supposed to work, this is how it’s documented to work. | |
| May 28, 2024 at 16:28 | comment | added | Marco | "An application that has just been hidden is the most recently used and therefore it's expected behaviour." -- That is a matter of personal preference. I hide an application if I don't expect to use in the near future, therefore I preferred the old behavior where it was reordered last. Thank you for the comment but there's nothing addressing my main question, reordering to last when hiding (old macOS behavior) | |
