I have seen several threads on here and elsewhere regarding changing the behaviour of the alt-tab switcher using CompizConfig Settings Manager. The most recent is one dated only just under three months ago, so it's not a years-old post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2211863 .
Oddly, even though it's a recent post, what the poster describes in CompizConfig Settings Manager is not what I see. He says:
Scroll down to the "Window management" section. Here you can select another switcher.
I enable the "Static Application Switcher", resolve any potential conflicts by setting the setting for "Static Application Switcher".
Now you can tweak the switcher by clicking on it. I have changed alt-tab and shift-alt-tab to "Next window (All windows)" and "Prev window (All windows)".
However, I don't see an option to choose a new switcher here. I only see six options:
Grid
Move Window
Place Windows
Resize Window
Scale
Snapping Windows
Am I missing something? I'd really like to get rid of the infuriating grouping of windows.
