> Selecting a window and having all the app’s windows come to the fore
... would only happen if the application you switch to is enforcing it for some reason. Ordinarily you can interleave windows all you want.
Switching to an application by clicking on it in the Dock or Cmd+Tabbing to it will bring all its windows to the front, though.
You're right, I'm thinking of using the keyboard cmd-tab.
So if I have two Zed windows and Firefox in front of one of them, I can't switch from Zed to Firefox and back to Zed without losing view of Firefox. Means I have to move windows around so they don't overlap, which seems so counterintuitive.
You need to use CMD + ` instead of CMD + Tab
That only switches within an app, not between apps.
Unless you mean to find the full-screen window. And that doesn't work either. At least for Zed, Firefox and iTerm, where I spend most of my life.
Or just install alt tab to override that behavior and don't look back.
And then when you full-screen a window, switch to another app for a moment, and then you can’t find it without delving into the ‘window‘ menu.
First world problems. But daily annoyances.
