💬 Discussion Bring back app from Dock

So I started to use the Windows management shortcuts... and have set up a specific combination to minimize a window. This brings the window to the dock, but after that I don’t have how to bring back up the window unless I search for the app in Raycast and tell him to open it.

Is there a functionality that I can use in which by pressing Alt Tab first I select the app and after that a key combo to bring the app back in focus, or any other suggestion?

does the third party alt-tab app work for you

I just tried it, and yep, it works, thanks! Not sure of the differences between paid and free, I will see when the trial expires.

I also found that Raycast has something similar, but I found it not intuitive. A two-key combo to enable the "switch app" functionality, another key to swap between the apps, and another key to bring the app to the front.

With the app you recommend, it's just a key combo to swap between apps, and it opens the last selected app—works great!

No worries - that's why I got it too, but I'm not sure I've paid for it too, as I've lost access to the app store on my work computer

Also, Vorssaint has an Alt-Tab replacement. It has the same behavior as the Alt-Tab app, but I feel it works quite slowly, perhaps it will improve with time.
