`ALT+Tab` is one of the most popular keyboard shortcuts when working on a PC. But if you need to switch between windows of the same application, this hotkey won't help.

However, a small free open-source utility — [**Window Switcher**](https://github.com/sigoden/window-switcher) — will. After launching it, a corresponding icon will appear in your system tray, although there’s nothing particularly interesting there. The application doesn't have settings as such.

The settings are hidden in the file `windows-switcher.ini`, which is created when you select the settings menu. In this file, you can configure hotkeys, add apps to the exceptions list, and adjust other parameters.

By default, using the combination `ALT+'` you can switch between windows of the same application.
