Switch between windows on Mac OS X?

In Windows, you switch between active windows with Alt-Tab. This behavior includes all running apps and all instances of each app. So if you have Calc open and 3 instances of Excel, there are 4 items to switch through.

In OS X, Command-Tab switches between apps but does not include multiple instances of each app - only the active instance. So if you have Calc open and 3 instances of Excel, there are 2 items to switch through. Command-` is used to switch between multiple instances of an app.

Can OS X's Command-Tab behavior be changed to work like Alt-Tab does in Windows?

    @Daniel - My question wasn't how to switch between all apps and all instances of each app in OS X, it was asking how to modify Command-Tab's behavior so it does that. – Howiecamp Aug 10 '12 at 21:25
  • To clarify, the difference between your question and the other is that you don't want to use a different tool or a workaround to achieve your goal? I decided to close this as a duplicate since it's essentially the same question. A positive answer to your question could be posted there as well. – Daniel Beck Aug 10 '12 at 21:30

    @Daniel - Ideally I'd find out how to change the behavior of that sequence. Finding an alternative is 2nd best. If I use the other question, I am pretty much guaranteed to *not* get the answer to my main question. Here's the solution - that question should be edited to include my additional detail. I don't have enough points to do it. Can you? Also, can you change the closed message - it isn't an exact duplicate. Thanks. – Howiecamp Aug 10 '12 at 22:13
