Microsoft’s new PowerToys shortcut lets you Alt+Tab within a single app

The useful part

Everyone's familiar with the Alt+Tab shortcut within Windows, but there's a problem: too many windows means too many hops. The productivity elves at Microsoft's PowerToys have a new solution, dubbed Window Hopper. If you have three browser windows open, Window Hopper will cycle between them.

How it works

• There's only two things I don't like about this new, free, PowerToys application: first, it uses the "backtick" key by default, which won't be familiar to many users.
• Window Hopper is described in the PowerToys update log, but it didn't show up in my local version of PowerToys, which supposedly updated just this morning.
• The backtick ("`") is basically the key that should live at the top left-hand corner of your keyboard, though you should be able to adjust the keyboard shortcut to another key command.
• The new version of PowerToys is accompanied by a host of small updates for other tools, all of which are described on GitHub.
• One of the most significant is the addition of a new Insider channel, which will allow enthusiasts to try out new PowerToys features sooner.
