Hi David et al,

Let me raise my issue and see if you have a better way of solving it, other than hiding the windows, which, as I've found so far, is not possible.

As you know, the Iranian government has censored lots of websites. To that end, I ssh to a friend's PC in the UK and create a tunnel (using the -D option) on a local port. I then use Proxifier to redirect all my local traffic to that port, and start using the internet in all its glory. :-)

Now, at this point, I have four windows open: Proxifier, Mail, Finder and Terminal. Since I'm used to having two or three windows in this list instead of four at minimum, you can see why I'm trying to reduce the number.

Thanks.

I think  we just have to accept that the Mac does things differently.
On Windows you can cycle through multiple applications and open windows
within those applications with alt tab.
This causes massive potential for confusing multiple alt tabbing through
multiple windows from multiple open applications.
In contrast on the Mac cycling through Windows is restricted to a single
application and does not extend to multiple windows across apps. The need
for the Windows solution of hiding windows is not therefore anywhere near as
great on the Mac side.
It is not surprising therefore that this option does not appear to exist on
the \Mac platform.
Of course if you want to navigate multiple windows across several open
applications you can do this with Application Chooser and sort out the
window you need from there under the application heading.

Hi!
OK I had a play and unfortunately the Apps still appear in Command+tab!
So that is not what you want!

Maybe providing it is also not in the command tab list or as one pointed
out app switcher which i never think of that on a mac for the sake of
ambiguity.

[Command+M] that sends the app your in to the doc!
Could that be the one!

Ok then. So all, what exactly does this hide command do? Any responses
greatly appreciated.
The "Hide" command only hides the window of the current application. The
"Hide Others" command hides all of the other windows, leaving only the
current application's window visible. I guess it is used to minimise clutter
on the screen. As you have found, this will not hide the application from
the app switcher.
