Figured I'd share. I just found out about a Mac OS shortcut that has helped me like crazy. If you're like me you have 1 4K monitor with apps upon apps opened and when you're on a Teams call and someone asks you a question, you're freaking out trying to find the Teams meeting window to unmute.

Command + ` (tilde). This switches windows in the application you have up. So say I have Word with 4 documents opened, CMD+` will switch between those windows.

This has made my life so much easier (I use it all the time now), figured I'd share. I'm a Windows programmer/admin by trade so ... lol, maybe a lot of you know this already but figured I'd post this for people like me.

Have a great day!
 
You can also swipe down on the trackpad with three fingers to see the open windows in your current app. Apple calls that feature "app exposé".

That's not enabled by default? Need to change your trackpad settings, in case anyone tries it.
Yeah; Used to be but no longer is. Ctrl+down-arrow still is enabled by default though I think for the same functionality

The shortcut (and all shortcuts) can also be remapped if you want in the keyboard section of System Preferences. I have it to ctrl+F13
