Been looking for this app for so long. QTTabBar does not work too well...

I think these 2 APPs can be used together well. The newer QTTabBar may change ur mind.

I needed to group all windows of a same program. And I needed to switch between those windows with keyboard hotkey.

I tried Groupy in Object Desktop by Stardock: group well(O), hotkey(O), but bit buggy

I tried TidyTabs: group well(O), but no keyboard hotkey(X)

so now I finally got to know WindowTabs: group well(O), hotkey(O), not buggy(O)

Yeah!

Not sure why. I think I prefer Offics Tab.

What is WindowTabs?

WindowTabs is a utility software that incorporates browser-style tabbed window management into desktop applications to improve productivity. It assigns a tab to each active application window, which can be dragged onto another to form a group, making it easier to manage multiple open windows.

This utility was originally developed by Maurice Flanagan in 2009 and was provided as free and paid versions, then open sourced.
