The quickest way to switch between open windows on your laptop without using your mouse is to use the Windows key + Tab key combination. This opens Task View, allowing you to select the desired window using the arrow keys and then pressing Enter.
Here's a breakdown of different methods:
- Windows Key + Tab: This opens Task View, displaying all your open windows as thumbnails. Use the arrow keys to navigate and press Enter to select.
- Alt + Tab: This provides a more traditional window switching experience. Hold down the Alt key and repeatedly press the Tab key to cycle through open windows. Release the Alt key to select the highlighted window.
- Ctrl + Windows Key + Left/Right Arrow Keys (If you have multiple virtual desktops): This switches between virtual desktops, each of which can contain different windows and applications.
Choosing the right method depends on your personal preference and how many windows you have open. Task View (Windows Key + Tab) is ideal for visually selecting from many open windows, while Alt + Tab is faster for quickly switching between the two most recently used windows. Using virtual desktops (Ctrl + Windows Key + Arrow Keys) can help organize your workflow by grouping related windows together.
