Triggers to switch windows within an app

[Kyle]

Hi all,

Longtime mac user, switched to windows, then back to macoS because I greatly missed QuickSilver, in particular, one functionality - however I have been unable to replicate it with my new computer...

With my last computer I created triggers to "launch" an app. Triggering the app again would allow me to actually cycle between open windows of that app - the most incredible feature.

For example: I assgined control+w to launch microsoft word. If the app was closed, it would launch it. If the app was opened, and there were multiple windows open, everytime I used control+w, it would switch between each of these open microsoft word windows. 

With my new computer I re-deownloaded QuickSilver, however, I am only able to launch the application. Using control+_ can launch the app, or bring the app to the front, but will not cycle between open windows of that app. This is the feature that I miss the most. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you!

Look at Preferences → Extras → Reopening the current application

You probably had one of the non-default choices for that setting. None of them are designed to cycle through windows, but I suppose it’s possible that one of them behaves that way in some apps.
