The MacBook keyboard fiasco is way worse than Apple thinks

The problem is that there is no combined shortcut for both.

Let's say I'm focused on my terminal, and I want to focus on the Firefox window that's besides me. The shortcut is Alt-tab Alt-~, but after doing the first key:

1. All Firefox windows in the current workspace go to the top of my screen

2. If there were no Firefox windows in the current workspace, OSX helpfully moves to the next one.

3. Even after that happens, I need to cycle among all Firefox windows. There's no way to Alt-tab repeatedly between pairs of windows of different applications.

You're looking for Cmd-Tab, then up/down arrow once you've selected the desired app. This will display a window selector.

Once you pick the a window, it will be foregrounded. Everything else will stay the same.

Although I see your point - you can't quickly change between App A and a specific window of App B.
