Hello. In Gnome (2.16 and earlier and later), you can switch forward through the available windows on the current workspace by hitting <Alt>+<Tab>. Going backwards should be possible by hitting <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab>, just like it is on MS Windows. However, <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab> for some reason doesn't work on my machines in Gnome. When I hit <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab>, I still switch through the windows forward.
According to a reply I got from somebody on the german gnome Usenet group (<news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, if you're interested), <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab> works for him on Gnome 2.16.1 und Metacity 2.16.3 in Ubuntu 6.10. I'm also using Metacity 2.16.3, on a x86 machine, if that matters. Could you guys please check, if <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab> works for you? What should happen is, that if you hold down <Alt> and then hit <Tab> a number of times, you switch forward through the list. If you hold down <Alt> AND <Shift> and then hit <Tab> a number of times, you should go backwards. Does that happen for you? Thanks, Alexander Skwar -- [email protected] mailing list
