To switch between active documents opened on a taskbar using a keyboard, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:
1. Press Alt + Tab: This will allow you to cycle through all open windows and applications on the taskbar. Keep holding down the Alt key and press the Tab key to move through the list of open windows. Release the keys when you reach the desired window.
2. Press Windows key + T: This will cycle through the open applications on the taskbar. Pressing the Windows key + T will highlight the next application on the taskbar, and you can use the arrow keys to navigate between them.
3. Press Windows key + number key: If you have pinned applications on the taskbar, you can press the Windows key along with the corresponding number key to switch to that specific application. For example, if you have Chrome pinned as the first application on the taskbar, you can press Windows key + 1 to switch to Chrome.
These keyboard shortcuts are handy for quickly switching between active documents and applications on the taskbar without using the mouse.
