I don't agree here, but feel free to ping JohnLea on #ubuntu-design about this. > Unity Alt-Tab behavior breaches the system of using one shortcut for > switching between applcations and another for switching between windows > of the same application. Well, as I said, Alt-Tab is not intended to be used to switch between applications "only", but also to switch to the last used window of the previous application (and the previous app and the current app might match). > The reason for using shortcuts to switch windows is to do it > automatically and without thought.

The behavior that is requested in this bug would, personally, make my life harder, since I assume that a single Alt-Tab will always bring me back to the previous window I used, whatever it was. So, I think this is mostly a matter of tastes and habits. > Please, allow the option you suggested. It will greatly improve the > Unity experience for some people. Indeed, we can safely support an option like that, so patches very welcome ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998285 Title: Tapping alt-tab switches between windows of the same application sometimes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/998285/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
