I have it 100% reproducible here. Press and hold alt alone or any key combination with alt.

Yes this is reproducible. Steps to reproduce it: What I do is: press strgaltright What happens: window/app switcher shows up What I expect to happen: switch to the right workspace.

[Bug 835699] Re: Unity window switcher takes over alt key
Yes, to clarify: Previous behaviour: alt-tab brings up window/application switcher. Current behaviour: window/application switcher is activated simply by pressing and holding alt. Ideal fix would be to return to something like the previous alt-tab behaviour (preferably exactly like it), to avoid affecting applications and existing shortcuts which use the alt key.

[Bug 835699] Re: Unity window switcher takes over alt key
Cycling through windows has always been with Alt+Tab, so I see no reason why that should change. Btw. when pressing Alt not only the switcher shows up, but it shows up with a preview of a window. I don't know if this happens because of altered settings in ccsm, but it was working like it should with previous version(s) of unity, so I don't think that there's a problem with my settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/835699 Title: Unity window switcher takes over alt key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/835699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 835699] Re: Unity window switcher takes over alt key
Tried the following in an attempt to change the key binding of the switcher: - Open Compiz configuration settings manager (A CCSM closed unexpectedly message comes up, but it still seems to work) - Under the 'Switcher' tab of the Unity plugin entry, change the 'Key to start the switcher' property to 'Controltab' - Exit CCSM Result: Controltab starts the switcher (with application icons) and allows you to cycle through them. as with Alttab prior to the update., as you would expect. However, pressing Alt on it's own still brings up the switcher with the current window shown as a thumbnail window/preview (not an application icon). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/835699 Title: Unity window switcher takes over alt key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/835699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
