Mar 28, 2018 · @muru I don't think your second hypothesis (i.e. "behaviour changed after whichever version of GNOME 16.04") is true, alt+esc does cycle through all open windows on a workspace here (Ubuntu 17.10, GNOME v3.26).

Jan 31, 2022 · In Pop!_OS, Alt-Tab is used to switch between windows of different applications. In Ubuntu 20.04, with "Switch applications" set to "Alt+Tab" in the Keyboard Shortcuts settings, Alt-Tab switches between the entire set of windows for each application, meaning that switching to the next application brings all of that application's windows to the foreground.

Apr 15, 2012 · I'm trying to map alt tab behavior to a mouse button using xdotool in my .xbindkeysrc. What I want to do is map something like "xdotools keydown alt key Tab" release b:7 but by doing this the alt key gets stuck, and it prevents my other mappings from working until I press the alt key on the keyboard.

Mar 18, 2016 · You can use Alt+` (the key above Tab) to cycle between windows of the same application.
