Hello
I use 12.04.1 64 bits with Gnome-shell, since 4 days ago alt+' shortcut to alternate between windows from same application is broken. GS changes the desktop instead application window. Any solution?

FYI, I'm on 12.04 (32 bits) gnome-shell and update every day. Alt+` still works fine for me.

I think you are using the wrong key:
you are using
alt+'
instead of
alt+`

youngunix is right. I hadn't noticed you typed ' instead of `. Actually to be precise, the keyboard shortcut used by gnome (in both gnome-shell and unity) is alt+<key above tab> because the actual char depends on the particular keyboard layout you are using.

Yes. On my kayboard layout is ALT+'.
I am on Ubuntu 12.10 Gnome remix now, ALT+' works fine.
