14 DAY TRIAL // If you open more windows belonging to a certain application and you want to switch to one of them, you'll be frustrated to notice that you can only switch to that application, so if you open five Internet Explorer windows on your Mac, first you have to switch to the program, and then browse the open windows until you find the one you need... not quite the operation you would like to do more than once or twice a day, believe me!
Of course that you can use Expose, how could I ever forget about that? Well, there's only one little problem - I am a keyboard-oriented user, so if something can be done with the keyboard rather than the mouse, I choose the keyboard solution, and since Mac OS X can't give you such a solution, I found a useful software helper...
The name of this software application designed to help you put some order into the daily windows mayhem that can occur on most desktops is Witch. Produced by Peter Maurer, a programmer well known for Butler and Textpander, now available as TextExpander, Witch is a free application that allows you to easily access all of your windows by pressing a shortcut and choosing from a clearly arranged list of window titles, as you can see in the attached picture.
This program's features don't end here, since you can also use it to gain direct access to minimized windows without using the mouse, close minimized windows without bringing them to front before that and zoom, minimize/maximize and close windows on-the-fly.
Available for download on Softpedia here, Witch comes as a Universal Binary application that runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later to run.
