Not if the windows are both from the same program. Then it's a different keybind, CMD-~ which doesn't have the same priority order style as CMD-Tab. I get caught up on this constantly, to the point where I decided to stop using one Chrome window under my work profile, and one under my personal profile, just so I can have my personal browser under a different program so CMD-Tab works better.

Is that window priority order governed by the OS or the application?

I don't recall the difficulty you mention happening with Safari.

I actually use Edge for personal stuff on my work MacBook for this exact reason. The workflow simply isn’t possible otherwise.

"Applications" is the problem. I want to switch between windows.
