Alt-tab on multiple workspaces

[Ryan_Singer]

Hi Everyone,

I'm running Karmic, and I make frequent use of 4 workspaces to keep my windows from getting cluttered. The only thing that I find non-ideal is my decade-long trained reflex to use alt-tab to switch between windows and applications. Is there a way to configure GNOME so that alt-tab works across multiple workspaces?

I've wondered this myself and browsed through gconf-editor, to no avail. The closest thing I've found is a package called SuperSwitcher:

I'm not at my Ubuntu machine now, though, so haven't tried it yet.

Compiz can do that - http://news.opensuse.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/shift-switcher.png ( details inside the screenshot ).

Could you add the instructions? The picture is gone.

[Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Tab] should be configured to do that by default in Compiz.

To change it to plain [Alt]+[Tab], run
ccsm and go to the Application Switcher plugin and change Next window (All windows) to be initiated via <Alt>Tab

That doesn't work if the program is on a different workspace.

I found it :). Thx for pointing me into the general area.
