The bottom left corner of cascaded windows act a bit like tabs for selecting a window.&lt;p&gt;This is on two 30&amp;quot; monitors. If you&amp;#x27;re on a laptop then things may be different. On my Macbook, I fullscreen most apps and swipe between them, but I don&amp;#x27;t do any serious work on laptop screens, they&amp;#x27;re too small.</text></comment>
