How to Quit apps/programs in Mac - latest macOS. If your Mac is booting up but is stalling on the progress bar or just won’t load into macOS, then there’s likely a software issue. One of the first things you should do is boot into Recovery Mode and try to repair your primary drive using Disk Utility. Make sure your Mac is shut down. Hold down the Command + R keys. Activity monitor app mac. On the left side of the mini-Dock is the icon for the current open program; next to it is the icon for the last-used program. Continue holding the “Command” key while repeatedly pressing the “Tab” key to cycle through each of the running applications.

Awesome! I set the key to Cmd-Option-Tilde.
And if you press Ctrl+SHIFT+F4 you can cycle through your windows the other direction.
The original hint indeicates that you use the COMMAND key .. you should actually use the CONTROL key.

I mis-read the hint. The only typo was in my brain.

it's function + control + F4 on laptops.
Howdy,
One of the nice additions in OS X 10.4 is that you can switch the meaning of the fn key on laptops (in the Keyboard&Mouse Pref Pane) so that the functions keys are the default and the fn key gives those keys their special meaning.

..use Witch.
Weird, I've never changed any of the preferences that deal with Keyboard Navigation but my shortcut is set to control-W not control-F4. I wonder why that is, I'm running the Mac OS X 10.4.1 with all the latest updates and everything and really nothing else that would cause a change like that.
I did change the value, and that's what I set mine to.. Ctrl-W.. of course, I forgot I made the change and tried doing Ctrl+F4 while I was in Mozilla Firefox. It was changing windows so I thought everything was hunky dory.. Then I noticed that it was *closing* windows instead of switching windows.. Looks like Ctrl-F4 means 'Close window' in Firefox (just like on Windows--Alt+F4 means Exit application in Windows).. Glad I hadn't started typing this comment! :-P

This is most likely due to what you chose when Full Keyboard Access was introduced (in 10.1?) - here you had to options - Letters or F-keys…
Then you upgraded (10.2-10.3-10.4…) as opposed to clean installed and that setting was kept alive ;-)

How do you access a printable list of Keyboard Shortcuts?
System Preferences/Keyboard & Mouse works fine for bringing up a list of Keyboard Shortcuts, but rather than mouse down within the list to refresh human memory, I'd like to be able to print the list and keep it handy.

MY SOLUTION:
1) activate expose's application window viewing (F10)
2) instead of using COMMAND-TAB .. use OPTION-TAB
(better affects too :)
Enjoy!

You can just hit tab, no need for option. At least there is no difference that I can see here.

Yes, just hitting tab works. Also note tab will take you to the application mode if you are already in all window mode (F9, by default). Furthermore, hitting the accent (grave) key (the key above the tab key on U.S. layouts) will take you backwards through applications, just like the application switcher (command+tab, keep holding command, then hit the accent key). And in keeping with the using-the-keyboard-only theme, while you are in the application window mode you can cycle through *those* windows with the arrow keys. This is all quite handy if you have a large number of applications and windows open..
you can print these keyboard shortcuts (and more) from Help. You can also copy and paste into another text app and create your own 'cheat sheets'. https://ynhrmx.weebly.com/blog/how-to-change-which-app-loads-on-startup-mac.
I have a japanese Keyboard and pressing cmd+~ doesn't work (I would have to press cmd+shift+^ to get it). Anyway, in my settings it would be cmd+` which is also a 'shift' key. So I just set it to cmd+@, which is the actual ` key.
But at the end, I have Witch, and that solves anyway all my problems :)

Today we continue with our theme of keyboard shortcuts but this time, we are working with open windows. If you wish to cycle through all open windows in all applications, use the Control + F4 (Control key and F4) keystroke combination. This is different than using the ⌘ + Tab, which only cycles through open applications (not all of the open windows in each application).

If you wish to cycle through the open windows only in the active application (your open documents in Word or Pages for example), use the ⌘ + ~ (Command key and Tilde).
