This allows Cmd+Tab to behave like Window Alt+Tab, meaning you can switch between open windows as opposed to open applications. This particular behavior of the OS X and MacOS app switcher has never made sense to me, and I've always used third-party applications to fix it.

There is another option called Alt+Tab, but this app behaved oddly in Mojave when using TotalFinder, whereas Hyperswitch handles TotalFinder windows without issue.

TotalFinder slims down the Finder chrome so it's not so bulky, along with adding features like context menu file cut/copy/paste and dual pane mode, which is
