Alt+Tab toggles between only two Applications

Open RaviRJoshi opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

If you have more than two windows open, alt+tab toggles only between current & next most recent window. This issue is not specific to Oct 2021 beta release. It happens in earlier versions, too.

This should probably be filed in https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/lxpanel-bullseye (it's certainly not specific to the 64-bit OS) - @spl237?

Looks like a bug in mutter - shift-alt-tab works fine, and the shortcuts are correctly assigned to switch-applications and switch-applications-backward. Not something I am aware I have changed, so filing a report against the upstream mutter repo is probably the best option - https://github.com/GNOME/mutter

That is not the upstream repo → this is

Additionally it's worth noting switch-applications switches applications (not windows), and you can within an application (switch-group) with super-`.

For a more windows-esc experience there is switch-windows, but it's unbound by default

I don't think this a bug in mutter because Alt Tab works perfectly in GNOME which uses gnome-shell to augment mutter functionality including Alt Tab and associated application selection icons. File against github Rpi-distro raspberrypi-ui-mods
