What is Easy Window Switcher?

Easy Window Switcher

Easy Window Switcher is a handy tool that makes switching between open windows way easier. Instead of just using your mouse, which can be kind of slow, you have some cool options. For those who love keyboard shortcuts, there’s the good old ALT-Tab to hop through open tasks or the WIN-Tab combo to enter Flip View.

Quick Navigation with Keyboard Shortcuts

The Flip View feature gives you a nice little preview of all your windows across virtual desktops. This means you can quickly navigate using just your keyboard arrows! Both this and the task switcher let you jump between windows of the same app, but there's no quick key combo to skip straight to them without cycling through everything like some other systems.

Switching Between Windows Like a Pro

If you're looking for something like the backtick hotkey on Mac OS, Easy Window Switcher has got your back! You can easily move focus to the next window of the same app using the ALT-` key combination.

No Frills Interface

This tool doesn’t clutter up your system tray or have a classic interface. When you launch it, a small window pops up asking if you want it to start with Windows for your logged-in user. You can also run Easy Window Switcher without installing it at all!

Testing It Out

Want to see if it works? Just open two instances of the same application—like Windows Explorer or any browser—and hold down the ALT key while pressing the ` (backtick) key. This lets you switch right over to the other window! If you've got more than two running, you'll cycle through them all with that ALT-` combo.

Performance Overview

During tests, Easy Window Switcher worked flawlessly with various applications—except for Microsoft Edge, which was a bit tricky.

A Useful Tool for Everyone!

If you're someone who likes having extra hotkeys to jump between different instances of an app quickly, this tool is perfect for you! But if it's not your thing? No worries! You can easily remove it by double-clicking on the executable again. Just keep in mind that you might need to restart your system to fully disable that ALT-` hotkey.
