If you use Command-Tab or Option-Tab to activate, then no, you don't need to map anything else -- you can use Shift-Command (or Option)-Tab or Command (or Option) and backquote (the key above Tab) to go backwards. Alternatively, you can map whatever you want to the Reverse box for All Applications.

We've got an entry in our to do list to find an elegant way to make it work with other sort orders -- the challenge in doing so is to not confuse a user who might expect that it should go to the next item in the list, not the last-used window.

If have several windows of various application open and I'm working
with just two windows, is there any way I could create a shortcut with
Witch to go back and forth between the current window I'm using and
the last one I used just before that. For example, let’s say that now
I’m reading a pdf file and here and there cutting and pastinto into a
Word doc. So I want to go back and forth between that specific pdf
file and that specific Word doc, without having every time to go
through the general Witch window and searching the pdf file or Word
file among the many files I have open. In other words, I’m looking for
a shortcut that will enable to go the window I just had opened before
the one I’m currently using. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hopper
