Is there a way to cycle through all windows on Apple with the Cmd+~ shortcut?

The new 2018a release only cycles through the last two windows with Cmd+~ instead of all open MATLAB windows as in previous releases (and most other applications for Mac OSX).

Hi, Just wanted to confirm that I have the same issue. Cycling through all windows worked fine in R2017b. Best Regards

This is still broken in the 2018b-preRelease version. Cmd-` should cycle through all windows within an application, but instead it only cycles though the 2 most recent windows.

I wholeheartedly agree. This is standard macOS behavior, which the devs should abide by.
For some reason, MATLAB 2020b (at least; apparently earlier) broke this convention. When I have many windows open, this unconventional behavior really gets in the way!

I agree that this is an annoying change after many years of Command+tilde cycling it is a hard habit to unlearn.

Cmd+` is broken in Matlab because of this Java bug: https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8206392. The bug was fixed in Java 1.8.0_202. However, Matlab R2019a Update 1 uses Java 1.8.0_181-b13. Cmd+Shift+` is a workaround, but cycles windows in reverse order and is definitely less convenient.

I experience the same issue with R2020a and the same java version as you.

I'm running R2020b Update 3 which uses Java 1.8.0_202-b08 (same as R2020a) and I also still have the issue with window cycling. I suspect that we're now hitting this bug which is present in 1.8.0_202 and fixed in 1.8.0_211: https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8213983.
