Remove applications from 'cmd'+'tab' I have just started to use the command+(Shift)+tab shortcut for switching between apps.
The issue with this is a few applications that I have open, I hardly use or have them open in the background (I still want them open).

Is it posible to remove some of the applications from the command+tab menu whilst still having them open and accessible via the Dock?
I'm pretty sure the Dock and App switcher are linked together, you can't get what you want. It's unfortunate because many apps are simply background apps that are irrelevant in people's day to day workflow.

You can however, opt for a 3rd party Window Switcher, which can be configured to not show applications that have no open windows. Some people like Witch, I very much like contextsformac. I have it setup as OptionTab, but you can replace CommandTab entirely if you want.
