[GUI-Talk] Question

[Rob Kaiser]

To further ask: I use the Spectrum app for my TV on my computer. When I have
a sighted person in here with me & they want want to watch the TV, would it
be better to put the TV app on full Screen, or is there really a big
difference with that?

A window is a separate task that will appear as you Alt+Tab among tasks in
Windows.

A browser window may contain multiple tabs, like a tab control in other
applications can. In a browser though, each tab is a separate website. If
you Alt+Tab through your Windows tasks, you'll only find one browser task.
That task will be showing one of the tabs, or websites, you have opened.
Generally, Ctrl+Tab moves among tabs in any tab control; so Ctrl+Tab in a
browser window will cycle among the websites you have opened in the tabs.

You may not be seeing different behavior because you happen to be opening
all of your websites into their own windows. Most browsers have settings
that govern when a new site opens as a window or as a tab. If you do start
creating multiple tabs in one browser window, you'll have to use Ctrl+Tab
instead of Alt+Tab to find them.

Hope this helps.

What is the difference between a tab and a window in a browser? As a
screenreader user they seem to act the same.  If anyone can shed light on
this one it would be appreciated.
