    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.

    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.
