Bug#701619: so what key combo is to be used in GNOME 3.6 to switch applications ?

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,
I read the above, the alt~ is pretty inconvenient  as it needs not a
two finger combo but a three finger combo  :(

alt+Shift+~ to do switching apps./windows whereas it used to be
alt+Tab for as long as I remember

alt+Tab for switching between apps. does not work.

see the 5th comment :-

"Just out of curiosity, are you a touch typist? I’m guessing not
because you seem to want to do everything with the mouse. Yes, GNOME 3
is geared toward touch… touching keys on the keyboard. Yes, you did
admit that it is good at keyboard stuff… so get use to them… that is
more efficient than the mouse for most all of the areas you complained
about.

Let’s review:

logo-key, type-to-search, select/enter arrow keys help

alt-control arrow-up/down for switching screens

alt-tab / alt-~ for switching applications / windows

It is very usable for me… as a keyboard (aka touch) user. :)" -  Scott Dowdle.

I do hope at some point the previous behavior (of ALT+TAB for
switching between apps. returns) .
