Public bug reported: To switch between windows of an open application, Unity should have a keyboard shortcut analogous to Super+(1 to 0). Users should also be able to use (some key)+(Right or Left) for the same purpose. Likewise, (some key)+(Up or Down) could be useful for switching between open applications. (An extra key is necessary because the cursor keys are likely to have functionality in the application.)
The ordering of the windows should NOT change (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/730617). Unity should somehow allow users to easily change the ordering manually. There should be an alternative to Super+(1 to 0), like Ctrl+(1 to 0). Whenever Super+(1 to 0) is utilized for switching between applications, the launcher appears, which is annoying. An alternative like Ctrl+(1 to 0) would NOT invoke the launcher, but allow the possiblity of doing so [with Super+(1 to 0)] (to review the mapping, of applications to numbers, for example). I also think it would be better if Alt+Tab would ONLY switch between applications, leaving Alt+Grave to do the switching between windows. ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/939002 Title: Difficulty switching between windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/939002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
