Hello,
Apps have no control over the grey and difficult to read tabs of tabbed documents.
My solution is to use the KBM activate windows switcher.
It works very nicely.
In terms of workflow, it would be nice if, once the macro is triggered, I could simply type a hotkey (for example) the first letter of the name of a window instead of having to click on it.
or is there another approach which would allow me to do this ?
thank you
Hey @ronald,
Tab and Shift-Tab should move you serially through the list, although I believe you must continue to hold down your hotkey.
You can also keep holding the modifier-keys down and re-press your primary key (and shift-press).
That takes care of serial movement.
I really doubt Peter will construct a find-by-typing UI, but I'd be all for it if he did.
You need a different utility for that like Witch from ManyTricks.
With Keyboard Maestro you have a couple of options.
You can pop open the front applications Window menu for type-select:
Menu ⇢ Open ⇢ Window Menu.kmmacros (4.2 KB)
Or you can bring up a pick-list with a Keyboard Maestro Prompt With List action.
Frontmost App -- Pick-List to Bring a Given Window to the Front v1.00.kmmacros (10 KB)

Thanks VERY much CC. I will work through your macros and try to implement them.
Your time and effort are greatly appreciated !
