Maybe you can use another compiz plugin called "static application switcher". I'm new to community discussions. On 14 Apr 2011 17:46, "Paul Sladen" wrote: On Thu, 14 Apr 2011, Pippa Kyle wrote: > > a. Already being in a Terminal (currently Alt-tab-tab-... > We're thinking maybe: > ... If I unde

We're thinking maybe: Step 1: Alt-Tab-Tab-Tab to relevant app. Step 2: Either a) Release Alt to access mostly recent viewed window for that app (or only window if there's only 1 window open for that app). or b} Pause - spread of windows for that app is displayed. Tab to one you wan

Agreed I like seeing all windows at once. It could be really useful if they were grouped by application as long as I don't have to select a group before being able to see and select the window I want in that group. On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 1:17 PM, Christian Mackintosh < christian.mackint...@gmail.

Option 1 seems neat but slow. When I'm working between two windows, be they of the same application or different ones, option 2 means I can easily flip between them with a quick press of Alt+Tab. Thanks, Christian On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 9:03 PM, M. Adnan Quaium wrote: > Option 1 Sounds great!

Option 1 Sounds great! I always like the idea of switching between Apps instead of switching between windows. Though it is time consuming, but still that is my favorite option. On 13 April 2011 19:59, Pippa Kyle wrote: > Sorry, guys, I should have realised that you probably don't spend a lot

Sorry, guys, I should have realised that you probably don't spend a lot of time with Win/Mac. So a slightly different question... When using Alt-Tab for switching between windows, would you like windows of a particular app grouped under that app? So, for example, you have 3 Firefox windows,

Just my personal opinion, the thumbnails in Windows are too small to be useful. I think that the Mac one is better since it is easier for the user to make out icons rather than hunting for details on a tiny thumbnail. Cheers, Kevin Liao. On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 11:51 PM, Pippa Kyle wrote: > Hello
