Gnom Alt-Tab

by Rémi Robichet

Prevent Gnome shell Alt-Tab from grouping windows from similar apps.

Ressources:

  • Open dconf-editor
  • Go to org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings
  • Move the value '<Alt>Tab' from switch-applications to switch-windows
  • Optionally move '<Shift><Alt>Tab' from switch-applications-backwardtoswitch-windows-backward
  • If you want switch-windows to work across desktops, not just in the current desktop, you can also uncheck org/gnome/shell/window-switcher/current-workspace-only(Courtesy of @CharlBotha)
  • Close dconf-editor
  • If using X11, press <Alt>F2, then type rto restart Gnome.
