Toggle Between Windows or Tabs on a Mac

by Jon Chase on November 9, 2009 at 06:45 AM

If you're the type to spawn tons of new tabs or windows in a browser rather than use the previous/next page buttons, there's a quick way to toggle through them using keyboard commands.

To toggle between several open Web browser windows:
Command (which is the Apple key) + ` (the one just below the Esc button)

To toggle between several open tabs in a Web browser's window:
Control + Tab

Also, on the new Mac touchpads, you can swipe four fingers to the left/right to switch between apps.
