Window switcher
Switch windows with Cmd + Tab.
Hold Cmd and press Tab to cycle through individual windows. Release to focus your choice. Every window gets its own tile—even when they belong to the same app.
Add Shift to go backwards. Use Cmd + ` to cycle within the current application.

Questions
Do I need an Apple keyboard?
The bindings use Super, which is normally the Command key on a Mac keyboard and the Windows key on a PC keyboard. The artwork uses a Mac keyboard because that’s where these habits come from.
Does it work exactly like macOS everywhere?
Omackey maps familiar shortcuts to Linux key sequences. Apps decide how to handle them. Delete-to-start sends Ctrl+U to windows tagged as terminals, and Shift+Home followed by Backspace elsewhere. Cmd+Q closes the focused window, rather than quitting all windows of an application.
Can I use it without the switcher?
Yes. Choose no when the installer asks about the switcher UI. The Mac-style application bindings remain installed. Omarchy keeps Cmd+Tab, Cmd+` and Cmd+Escape for its own actions. You can enable the UI later with ./enable-switcher.sh.
How do I remove it?
Run ./uninstall.sh from the checkout to remove Omackey’s integration. The repository’s README has the installation and management commands.
