That will depend on what apps you're using; Witch has to wait for apps to tell it which windows it has open.

We'll get this released as soon as we can, but we're having an App Store issue right now that we need to resolve.

I am an App Store user.  I tried the beta.  It seems to resolve the issue. 
 There is sometimes a slight lag before the witch switcher window goes away 
though.

I just disabled the "Displays have their own Spaces" setting since I don't
use Mission Control. That is working well for me.

Good news! I think we've fixed this; you can try the beta yourself, if you want, by following the instructions in this blog post: <http://manytricks.com/blog/?p=3238 <http://manytricks.com/blog/?p=3238>>

Witch no longer seems to be activating the application after it brings a 
window to the top. So it brings the window to the top, but it doesn't make 
them active. So I have click on the window first before I can type into 
them.

The new window is correctly activated when I use Mission Control or Optimal 
Layout to switch windows. So its only a problem with Witch. 

OSX 10.9.5
Witch 3.9.4 (3197/3251)
