Meanwhile I disabled Win+Tab (`#Tab:: Return` in an AutoHotkey script) and also three-finger swipe which defaulted to opening the same view, because it is so astonishingly slow, and easy to accidentally trigger when Alt+Tab or two-finger swipe were intended. On my Surface Book, when I have a fair bit running (call it 20+ windows and approaching full use of main memory), the first invocation of that could make the machine unresponsive for 10+ seconds, because that Win+Tab thing uses inordinate amounts of memory (well over half a gigabyte for that many windows on a 3000×2000 display, if they’re all maximised it’ll be closer to a gigabyte), so it has to shuffle loads of memory around first. Even subsequent openings of it tend to take half a second at best, more typically 1–2 seconds.

Meanwhile, I believe macOS’s equivalent transitions smoothly and quickly. Not that I’ve used it myself for fifteen years or so.
