It's worth knowing that on Windows (and on Gnome) Win+1, Win+2 etc. map to the first, second etc. window on the task bar.

I pin the key applications in the same location (terminal on 1, VS Code on 2, Browser on 3) and so can quickly switch between them.

Doesn't help for the more than 5 or 6 key applications though.

I also found it helpful when I discovered that one can Alt-Tab-release-Tab and keep Alt held and then navigate the tabbale-to windows with the arrow keys, including hitting Del to nuke one.

Oh, and Win-Down for minimise since Alt-Tab away from an RDP session doesn't do what I want.

(Win+<digit> is still the best, along with Ctrl+<digit> for browser tabs, but given you already covered that one I figured I'd share my next favourites)
