Re: Alt-Tab behaviour

 

On my Precise, the "bias" is more of an "only show", in that it will only switch between windows on the current workspace, not simply preferring them.

    Hi,

    The recent "Dodge Windows" user findings made me wonder about the
    default Alt-Tab switching behaviour.  Since the switcher changed to
    showing windows on all viewports I've found that the only way to make
    it usable (read: predictable) is to set the "Bias alt-tab switching to
    prefer windows on the current viewport" flag in CCSM.  I'm not running
    Precise yet, so maybe that's the default behaviour already, but it
    seems like another nice candidate to promote to a standard default.

    I guess most new users wouldn't really experience many issues without
    it, because I suspect they don't use multiple viewports, but for those
    of us that rely on them it makes a big difference.


Yes, that default has already been changed in the latest Precise.
