yeah its weird they didn't look them up. they got 90% of the way there by already being a power user on Windows and then just gave up? I think the strength of MacOS is that non-power users would get 90% of the way there too.

But definitely just ask around and look up how to do things you are accustomed to! They even found the AltTab package somehow, even though I couldn't figure out what was missing... MacOS' minimized windows not being the thing that comes up, if they are minimized, but on Windows it will switch to those windows if they are simply behind or if minimized? Even the package they found doesn't exactly say whats going on. I almost never minimize windows on MacOS.... probably for that reason.

I minimise them quite frequently these days for something I want to tuck away. A good way to surface them is the "App Exposé" feature (Preferences -> Trackpad -> More Gestures). Shows all the hidden windows for the current app.

It's different to Windows though. If they're looking for something more similar to Windows, maybe Command+H (hide the active app) is a better alternative.
