Tip: Change default hotkey for switching Windows from Windows key + ö to Alt + Tab

The first thing I changed when I opened Switcher in Windows 7 was the shortcut to switch windows. Since Vista I’ve been used to Alt + Tab to switch windows, so I quickly changed it – It works flawlessly and the default Windows 7 configuration will not be in conflict with Switcher.

Another great advantage of Switcher is that each windows will have a number and you can simply press the number to switch to that windows – handy, eh?
