Bug ID: 455068
Summary: Option to Alt+Tab through windows on all virtual
desktops, current desktop first
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: tabbox
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: winghongc...@vivaldi.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, the Alt+Tab task switcher can filter windows by virtual desktop (and
only shows windows on the current desktop by default). A sorting order that
I’ve enjoyed using comes from the Coverflow Alt-Tab GNOME extension. It has the
option of showing windows from all virtual desktops, but always showing windows
from the current desktop first before any others. This allows me to more easily
switch between windows within one virtual desktop, while letting me switch to a
window on another virtual desktop if I forget that I’ve placed it on the other
virtual desktop.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Task Switcher settings and uncheck filtering by virtual desktop, then
apply changes
2. Open a few apps on each virtual desktop
3. Switch from one window on one virtual desktop to another window on another
virtual desktop
4. Press Alt+Tab
OBSERVED RESULT
Kwin switches to the last used app, which is on another virtual desktop. So, it
switches the focused window and virtual desktop.
EXPECTED RESULT
Kwin brings forward the last-used window on the virtual desktop that I am
using, while still letting me alt+tab a few more times to reach windows on
other virtual desktops.
