I totally get the window switching thing, especially if one of the windows is minimized. In that case, hovering over the window using Cmd + Tab will not open the window. You have to press Option while simultaneously letting go of the Cmd key.

The only other major thing is how terrible Finder is out of the box. There are ways to make it less terrible, but it's still far less than ideal in usability.

What problems do you have with Finder? I feel the same about Windows File Explorer when I use Windows. If nothing else, I keep looking for a way to add a tab for a different path.

Admittedly, I tend not to use that many keyboard short-cuts. Beyond the basics, I find the effort to learn more of them not worth the effort unless it is an app that I use frequently. File management is not one of those cases.

Yes! I provided the same comment above with a step-by-step as the sequence of key presses is a little hard to figure out the first time.

I’ve now finally committed this to muscle memory but I doubt many people are aware of it — it was really good to hear of somebody else using it!
