If you have them side by side, and you have many of them tiled, I guess you could Alt-Tab through them, but I find it easier to click.

If I'm clicking between three windows and I have four open, do you really think it's quicker to Alt-Tab? On the Mac I just hit F3 which is Mission Control which I wish Windows had (it's basically a more elegant Alt-Tab; we have ⌘+Tab but that's only icons, same thing but not as pretty).

Forgive my ignorance as a non-Mac user, but isn't the screen that shows up when pressing WIN+Tab similar? It shows all your open windows and their content, plus (iirc) let's you switch to/create additional desktops.

Kind of... it's actually my go-to on Windows 11, which I have to use at work.

Windows actually only recently supported multiple desktops, which Mac and Linux have had for a while.

FWIW, this used to work better when "cascade windows" was a standard thing.
