I expect Alt+Tab and Shift+Alt+Tab to cycle through all open applications in a workplace in order or in reverse order, even after I switch applications (like in Windows), but that's not the default behavior.

Here's what I mean: Given applications A, B, C in that order, A is in focus.

The behavior I want

  • I use Alt+Tab to switch focus to application B.
  • The order of applications remains A, B, C.
  • I use Shift+Alt+Tab to switch focus back to application A.

The current behavior, which I find counter-intuitive

  • I use Alt+Tab to switch focus to application B.
  • The order of applications swaps between A and B. The order is now B, A, C.
  • I use Shift+Alt+Tab thinking I'll switch back to application A but instead I find application C.

Is there an extension or Gnome setting that'll allow for the behavior I want, or is this hard-coded?
