Alt + Tab vs Start + Tab

[Nikolay]

Which do you prefer? Or do you use neither? Personally, I don't use either.

 

[esteban]

Alt+Tab.

In Linux, I use Windows+Tab so I can get some use out of that button lol.

 

[Sbrideau]

Alt+Tab, that XP habit didn't get out and I haven't used XP for about a year except in virtual machines lol.

 

[hailongf99]

Alt+Tab,just because of the habit ...

Alt tab seems easier to me. But I usually just click the app that's pinned (or on) the task bar.

 

[BFG]

neither

I had not heard of that one. I just tried it in Opera and I can scroll through the tabs very nicely. But it is Opera tabs and not windows on my desktop.

i use alt tab or i have my middle click set to 3d flip... i like using my 3d flip cuz i can click on the window and i want (and its pretty)

 

[antt]

alt tab because it immediately switches to between two programs. start tab requires you to press tab again, which slows down my style

Neither, I'm using one of the three 'thumb' buttons in my mouse.

ALT+TAB here

I am confused. What is Start+Tab? Alt+Tab I understand and have been using for years.

With my eyes, I don't like to have to squint, so Start + Tab works better for me.

I have not tried that software, but this works in Opera without it. Of course it just cycles between tabs.

 

[Seraphinus]

is use both, the alt+tab option just for speed switching, and the start+tab just because it's funny,

I've tried a few options that trigger the native 3D flip on a mouse action but this one maps it's own windows and it just works for me - YMMV

To be honest I often just use the taskbar to switch apps as I tend to keep a minimum number of windows open to complete the task at hand - goes back to Windows 3x where windows resources were a bit more limited

It's not referred to as Start+Tab...it's correctly called Win+Tab, and it launches 3D Flip...the Aero version of Alt+Tab.

Windows Key + Tab

OH!
I had not heard that name for the windows key. Thanks. Clears up a lot.
