#TT4T 2 - How to switch between applications using your keyboard

Have you ever wanted to quickly glance at your email inbox, then back at your PowerPoint? Well, there's an easy way to do it!

To switch, or toggle, between applications on your system, hold down the Alt key (lower left hand corner on the keyboard) using your left thumb, then press the Tab key (above Caps Lock) repeatedly. On both PC and Mac, you'll see a dialog box with all the applications open, and a square around it as you're alt+tabbing through the applications. Once the application you want to go to is selected, let go, and voila!

If you're a Mac user, instead of the Alt key, use the Command Key + Tab to do the same thing.
