<p>The Twitcher is a task switcher to jump between running applications and their windows.</p>
<img src="../images/twitcher-images/twitcher.png" alt="twitcher.png" />
<p>Just tap <span class="key">CTRL</span>&#160;<span class="key">TAB</span> to switch between the current and the last application/window. Tapping <span class="key">CTRL</span>&#160;<span class="key">TAB</span> very quickly will switch between all applications. Or press and hold <span class="key">CTRL</span>&#160;<span class="key">TAB</span> to go through all running applications by repeatedly hitting <span class="key">TAB</span> or <span class="key"></span>/<span class="key"></span>. If you need to get to a specific window of a program, move to its icon as described and then go through its open windows with the <span class="key"></span>/<span class="key"></span> keys.</p>
<p>You cycle through all an applications visible windows on the current workspace with <span class="key">CTRL</span>&#160;<span class="key">~</span> (which, depending on the keymap you're using, is the key below <span class="key">ESC</span>).</p>
<p>It's also possible to invoke the Twitcher with <span class="key">CTRL</span>&#160;<span class="key">TAB</span> and then use the mouse to choose the application/window you'll jump to when releasing the <span class="key">CTRL</span> key.</p>
<p>The Twitcher also offers a few more advanced keyboard shortcuts:</p>
<table summary="more shortcuts" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr><td><span class="key">ESC</span></td><td style="width:15px;"></td><td>Aborts the twitching and returns to the formerly active window.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="key">Q</span></td><td></td><td>Quits the selected application.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="key">H</span></td><td></td><td>Hides all windows of the selected application.</td></tr>
</table>
