The quickest move in Findow is a tap. It takes you to the window you were just in, with nothing on screen.

Search by typing
While you hold ⌥, just type. You can search by window title or app name, and typos and initials still work. Windows you've opened from a search before come first next time.
Now try it on your Mac
Hold ⌥Tab and type the first few letters of an app you have open, then let go.
It worked if
That app's window comes to the front, even if it was behind everything else.
If it doesn't work
If nothing shows, check that Findow has its permissions. If another app such as AltTab is running, it may be using ⌥Tab too. Quit it, or change the key in Make it yours.
