Contexts lets you switch to windows with search. Press Control-Space (or whichever keyboard shortcut you prefer) to open the Search window. Type a few characters from an app name or window title to filter the list. Press Return to switch to the selected item.
A 'full' swipe in from the left edge of the screen switches to the next app in the 'app stack' as noted above, and is an alternative to ALT + TAB. But you can also do a partial swipe—one of the most difficult gestures in Windows 8—and bring up the Switcher UI if you do it just right. Then you can tap the app you wish to switch to. Audio Switcher is a 100% free, and Open Source application for Windows® Vista, 7, and 8. Audio Switcher makes switching between sound devices trivial. No longer do you have to go into Control Panel or the Windows® Sound options, instead there is an easy to access icon, or even hotkeys. The beautiful part of Audio Switcher is it's simplicity.
And in Contexts 3 we have taken search to a new level. Our goals were simple but ambitious: You should need as few keystrokes as possible — ideally just two for your frequently used windows; And it should be as deterministic as possible — so you can switch without even looking at the results most of the time. Bike baron 1 4 – the ultimate bike game. Here is how it works:
- Matches non-consecutive characters. You can type characters which are anywhere in the app name or window title. If an app has multiple windows open, type a couple of characters from the app name and a couple from the window title.
- Prioritizes acronym matches. Character matches at start of the app name and start of any words in the window title get a higher score. Most of the time typing the acronym of an item's title is sufficient to make it the first result.
- Creates search shortcuts. Once you type a search query and select a window (with up or down keys if necessary), typing the same query later will cause that window to be the first result. E.g. type 's', select Safari window from results and from then on that window will always be the first result for 's'.
Fast Search. If you want to go even faster, enable Fast Search, hold down the Fn key (or whichever modifier key you prefer1) and type a one or two character query (or a longer one if you want to). The Search window will appear with the results. Just release Fn and the selected item will come to the front. Combine this with search shortcuts and you can switch to Safari with Fn-s, Notes with Fn-n, Messages with Fn-me and so on. In two or three keystrokes, that is.
1. Contexts recognizes left & right modifier keys separately. So you can set Fast Search to use, for example, only the left Option key or only the right Option key. The other modifier key will continue to work as it does by default.
