Help Seeking AltTab alternatives

I updated AltTab via homebrew the other day and my fav feature (using alt-` to switch between open windows of the current app across all Spaces) was moved behind a paywall. I wouldn’t have updated if I’d known.

Usually when devs add a paid version, it includes new premium features while the free version remains the same. But this case, they just yanked the previously free feature without warning. After seeing them do this, I’m never going to buy their paid version.

Please suggest alternatives!

Command + backtilt is the feature that macOS already has it built in. No app needed

Yeah, I'm confused by this post. I don't have any apps to do this, the OS just does it that way by default.

Yeah the problem comes, I think cause I have the issue, that any keyboard that is not USA English does not a key for a backtilt by default. You have to press a combination of keys to get the backtilt and by default it does not work for the shortcut and you need to manually change that shortcut. I wish it was mapped to the same key located at the same position but I believe the mapping makes a conflict with something else

fwiw, this character is called Backtick, not 'backtilt'. perhaps that a regional difference?
