Once you've hit up arrow, it's like a mode switch, now you are in app window switching mode. not what you want? keep going with cmd-tab. you don't have to stop cmd-tab or do anything else, just hit up arrow and it shows you that window. On mine, you get this effect by pushing up arrow. I don't know what this person is talking about.
It will save you so much time hammering the Tab key. If you are reading this and using Cmd+Tab on OS X, do yourself a favor and spend some time retraining yourself to use Mission Control. Last time I was forced onto a Windows machine at work, Dexpot was the only software that was even remotely bearable to use, and even then required binding mouse gestures via an additional third-party tool. Alt+Tab and Win+Tab on Windows are a joke, and all of the third-party software packages that try to hack on multi-desktop, multi-monitor functionality are a mere shadow of a native implementation. Aside from a proper terminal with tools like ssh (seriously, fuck cygwin or Putty as replacements), Mission Control is the reason why OS X is amazing to me, and I can't stand to use Windows which lacks any kind of proper window management.
Mission Control has become indispensable to my daily workflow. As of a couple versions ago, multi-monitor has worked flawlessly. Honestly it was a disaster and mostly unusable. The old Exposé was a hindrance due to lack of proper multi-monitor support. People coming from Windows who refuse to adapt to using Mission Control, and instead rely on Cmd+Tab like a Windows user that has no other option is sorely missing out. If you're on OS X, you use Mission Control with a trackpad or a mouse. I don't understand why everyone is talking about Cmd+Tab. I actually wrote a little app that puts Quit and Hide buttons in the top left and right corners of the screen. It's unfortunate that those commands were moved to a sub-menu in Mac OS X. In the old NeXTSTEP days, the Hide and Quit commands were top-level menu buttons and always just a single click away.
When you return to the hidden app via Command+Tab, the app and its windows will be restored just as you left it. This will hide the active app and activate the next app in order. (Command+H, select "Hide" from the app menu, or Option+Click a dock icon.) More often, you should use the Hide command. Typically, it's a rarely used command, but it can occasionally useful when you're working in an app that has a lot of windows open (like, say, Terminal) and you want to set some of the windows aside for awhile. You only use Minimize when you explicitly do not want to see a window when its app is active. Never use Minimize when you intend to switch between apps. If you're having that problem then you're not using the Minimize command correctly. and you don’t get your window, just the title in the menu bar! You might come across a situation, where you want to switch to an application or open a new instance of it.
