Command + tab not working properly. It switches all to the right. When I press command tab, it switches to the latest application as if I was pressing tab, holding command, consistently. So this limits me from switching to any application in between, unless I have the proper timing. Is it understood? It is progressive, it doesnt switch to the latest at once, that's why with proper timing I can switch correctly, but it goes very fast. It is not confortable.

When i use Command+Z it makes changes to other open apps, not the one i am working on? So for example I make a mistake on a document in Word, pressing command+Z will go straight to the open excel sheet and delete the last thing on that? even if I haven't done anything on excel for a while and have been woking on word the whole time. it will even jump between several open apps and the other way around, if I'm working on excel, to will jump to word, or another excel sheet.
