ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Alt + Tab ??

**harbimilan** · November 18th, 2012

Hi,
I recently installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS (actually upgraded from 10.10)
To be honest I was happy with 10.10, and was not planning to switch to 12.04 but it disabled the updates and so.
Anyway, I'm using gnome classic theme, everything works fine, except Alt+Tab. How can I employ this useful keyboard shortcut?

I tried setting it from keyboard shortcuts,
and also from compizconfig settings manager I tried activate "application switcher".
None of them worked, anybody has a solution?
Thanks!

Are you using GNOME Classic of GNOME Classic with effects? Do you get anything at all when you press Alt + Tab?

I'm not sure but I think GNOME Classic.
No, in nautilus only Alt works (puts underlines on File,Edit,View etc.)
in chrome, goes to the end of the page.

I tried again with Gnome Classic (with effects) and ran ccsm and set it, this time it worked perfectly.
Don't know how I did it.
I tried gnome classic (no effects) , ubuntu, ubuntu2d and finally gnome classic again. That's all I know
