Yes - as mentioned above - command + ~ is a compromise but doesn't let you quickly switch between two open windows of one app when you have 3 or more open - it cycles through all 3 or 4. Small things that help productivity. I'm thinking about making Hyperswitch default for a month to see if it's worth the switch but I need to do more digging about what it sends back home for 'Beta testing".
Please remind me about gestures and how you would use it for this? Maybe I just need to teach myself.

#1 is the only one that works for me there...
Didn't think I'd need this but I'm pasting over 100k individual curl commands into the terminal and about to see if it can run them consecutively lol. I don't want it falling asleep on me if I can avoid it, I may just use that ta!@Willie Trombone have you given Amphetamine a go? Not the narcotic, but a handy app to keep your mac awake when you need it to be.
Amphetamine
Welcome to Amphetamine, the most awesome keep-awake app ever created for macOS. Amphetamine can keep your Mac, and optionally its display(s), awake through a super simple on/off switch, or automatically through easy-to-configure Triggers. Amphetamine is extremely powerful and includes advanced...apps.apple.com
Yeah, I usually have it set up as one of the customizable buttons on my Logitech mouse.
Your dilemma is relatable for anyone who juggles multiple windows of the same app. Hyperswitch sounds like a handy solution, especially with its intuitive Option+Tab functionality for switching between apps and windows. The convenience it offers for quickly toggling between specific Excel workbooks, for instance, could be a real productivity booster.
Command + ‘ cycles forward - command + shift + ‘ cycles backwardsAnyone using / trying Hyperswitch? One of the things I've had a harder time getting used to is being able to use Alt-Tab (Command-Tab on Mac) to switch, not only between apps, but between multiple windows of an app. e.g. I might have 3 Excel workbooks open but because, unlike my browser, Excel doesn't provide a visual cue of the other open files, I find it less intuitive to be able to find the window I'm needing. Pressing Command + ' allows me to switch between those windows - that's all good and well but I just don't find it as intuitive as the win task switcher.
I read about Hyperswitch and gave it a go - it's really good and does exactly what I want it to - it uses Option Tab to switch between apps and multiple windows of the same app which I find far more intuitive. e.g. I might be working between two of 4 open Excel workbooks and wanting to switch regularly between the two while comparing or updating stuff - Windows does this pretty well with alt-tab switching between the two most recent windows if you let go in between alt-tabs. Hyperswitch does a great job of the same thing. Mac's command + ' allows me to switch until I find the one I'm looking for, but it switches in the same order, so if I have 4 windows open and am in window 2, but want window 1, I have to press option + ' three times and make sure I'm paying attention when I do so I don't overshoot.
It's seems like a small deal but it affects my productivity pretty much.... all that said, I'm loathe to install ADDITIONAL background software for the sake of it and can't yet decide if I just need to get used to the default (always beneficial) or start using this new app. The app is also "in beta" and by default collects too much telemetry for my liking - and I have to allow it to capture the screen etc. which I'm not keen on. I see the dev is Germany based so less of a concern there, but still...
Anyone else use it?
Keka or the unarchiver
Wow, unarchiver is as the name implies - only for extraction lol. Keka looks good. Will give it a try.
Why not just right click on finder and select "compress"?
Where do you do the encryption bit?
Ah, I missed that you want encryption. Terminal is your answer, or a 3rd party app if you want GUI
Yeah, terminal is fine but sometimes you want to select 15 files in a directory and zip/encrypt them. It’s not always convenient unfortunately. Keka is leka. Well worth the 100 ront.
