toggling
Switching back and forth
Toggling is the act of switching back and forth between two states or options.
The word comes from toggle, a pin or fastener that flips between positions.
In computing, toggling usually means turning a setting on or off: toggling between windows, toggling dark mode.
The term implies quick, repeated switching rather than a single change.
