ALT-ESC to Switch Between Applications

This is rather like Alt-Tab, but it carousels the applications in the chronological sequence in which they were opened.

Open your document, open your workbook, open your mail program.

To read, copy or paste between them, hold down the ALT key, and tap the ESC key repeatedly.

Let go both keys when your carousel has reached the application you wish to use.

Remember that we can SHIFT into reverse gear, so while holding down the Alt key, use SHIFT-ESC to go backwards on the carousel.
