MAC: Keyboard shortcut to switch among different windows of the same program

Hello Everybody,
today I want to share with you this little trick I have just found, i.e. (as the title says) how to switch among different windows of the same program in MacOS.

So... As you know the combination cmd + TAB in Mac OS allows you to switch among different programs, but what if you have multiple windows of the same program (for example Firefox or Safari)?

Well in this case the combination you are looking for is:


 cmd + '  if you have an Italian layout for your keyboard...

otherwise it is

 cmd + 1 for all the other layouts  I have tested (American, German)


The " ' " is above the TAB key in the American keyboard and next to 0 in the Italian one. The little annoying thing is that while with "cmd + TAB" you get a row with all the icons of the open programs in the middle of the screen, in the case of "cmd + ' " you just switch sequencially among all the different windows while, I think, it would have been much nicer to show a row with thumbnails of all the windows (are you listening Cupertino?)

One more thing... 
The combination "cmd + TAB" switches from Left to Right everytime you press it, if you want to move in the other way to have to add a "SHIFT", so "cmd + SHIFT + TAB" to move from the right to the left. The same applies also for windows, you have to "cmd + '" and "cmd + SHIFT + '"

That's all Folk.

Where to get research papers for free

Last update  April, 8th, 2018 After the post about ebooks , I have thought you may be interested on academic papers too and here I am! :) THANKS for your contributions to this post! On the subject education, there is also a new post about the free university courses you can attend online, for free!!! Anyway, if you are a PhD student or a researcher you need to download and study other people's scientific works. For most journals (the most important ones) your institution should have already a subscription. However you'll probably have already experienced that sometimes, you need a paper you cannot download through your institution, pretty annoying eh? So... how can you solve this problem? Where can you download research papers for free? Where to find free scientific journal articles? How to get that f*ck*ng full-text pdf? Are there alternatives to sci-hub ? Yes, just read below! By the way, is sci-hub down? NO, once again, just read below! I will...

The flags of Haiti and Lichtenstein (and more)!

Image
Today I watched a new episode (5x14 - The Beta Test Initiation ) of my beloved TV-series The Big Bang Theory and I learnt the following curious fact. Only in the1936 Olympics (!!!) people realized that Haiti and Lichtenstein shared just the same flag! After that, since 1937 a crown has been added to the Lichtenstein flag. Interesting, since 1807, the Haitian flag has always had - in the center - the National Coat of Arms (COA). It is formed (see below) by a palmette, two cannons, six Haitian flags, a drum,  the motto "L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE" (French for In union there is strength ) and other elements. With this COA the two flags would have been different also in 1936, but unfortunately, it wasn't part of the Haiti civil flag but only the military one, therefore the inconvenient during the Olympics! National Coat of Arms of Haiti The flag of Haiti The flag of Lichtenstein  Interestingly, the case of the flags of Haiti and Lichtenstein is not u...
