Problem: I cannot get one feature working.

How do I make Super+W show open windows from all workspaces?

Background: I installed ubuntu 12.04.3 64-bit freshly today and performed all updates. I appears to be the same problem as detailed in this post: How do I make Super+W show open windows from all workspaces?

Though my circumstances are different.

The post regards 12.04.1, and the post says that the compiz fix would be incorporated in 12.04.2. I installed 12.04.3 this morning. My compiz version is 0.9.7.12

What I've Tried:

  1. I have tried using compiz-config-settings-manager (ccsm) and can verify that the keyboard short cut for super+w is correctly assigned to Windows from All Workspaces

  2. I attempted the workaround described at the linked post.

    • A. Add the PPA with sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bsantos/ppa.
    • B. Run sudo apt-get update .
    • C. Update Compiz with sudo apt-get install compiz . In part 'C' apt-get returns that compiz is fully up-to-date. and does not make any changes to the system.

I can verify these results on two of my systems: - Dell D620 (Ubuntu 32-bit) - System76 Lemur 4 (Ubuntu 64-bit)

I'd really love to get this feature working and would appreciate any assistance.

  • Try looking in Seyboard Settings > Shortcuts, or ccsm – Wilf Dec 21 '13 at 16:29
  • Hi wilf. Thanks for the reply. I did try ccsm initially, and I can verify that the keyboard short cut for super+w is correctly assigned to 'Windows from All Workspaces'. I referred ccsm as compiz-config in my original post. I will edit my original post to correct the name. – wunnation Dec 23 '13 at 14:54
  • Upon your suggestion, I also checked in Keyboard Settings Shortcuts, and there is no reference to this feature. I am not surprised by this, since this is a compiz feature.

    Also, there are no other keyboard shortcuts assigned to super+w to cause conflict.
