Discussion
Am I correct in thinking that Ctrl + Tab and Super + Tab does the exact same thing in Gnome?
Seems like a waste, no? I feel like it would be more logical for Alt + Tab to switch between just the open apps in the current Workspace and Super + Tab switch between all open apps? Or Super + Tab switch between all open windows, not just apps.
Thoughts?
I opened an issue about this over on the #Gnome GitLab, in the hopes that someone might want to discuss if we could use this limited resource of sane default keyboard shortcuts better: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8833
Please add your thoughts! :)
@forteller Yep, they do the same thing:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications
['<Super>Tab', '<Alt>Tab']
And there's a setting to (always) switch between open apps in a workspace:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell.app-switcher current-workspace-only
false
Not sure if you can have Super + Tab switch between windows in the current workspace though.
@rohare Thank you! I don't care as much about the settings you can change as I care about good defaults. And Having those two doing the exact same thing seems like a waste of defaults to me, when there's so many other good ways to switch between windows that we don't have default shortcuts for.
