Ungroup with alt tab

Question

I have a "serious" issue.

I use Ubuntu 11.10 and I really like it. There's just one thing that drives me crazy.

Can someone tell me how I can ungroup for ex. Mozilla with alt tab? I've already downloaded CompizConfig but I cannot unveil this secret. I've searched many forums but I seem to be the only one not understanding this.. :(

@root45 I believe he means to switch between windows of the same application as 11.10 shows them as one "app" when alt-tabbing — Jonathan Day, Nov 23 '11 at 02:48

Alt+~ will allow you to switch between windows of the same app. i don't know how to turn it off permanently, but it will allow you to navigate them.

Additional hint: I have a German keyboard and a German Keyboard layout. Nevertheless the Alt+~ works with the same key where the English keyboard has, so for German users it is Alt+^ .

In the "Window Management" section of CompizConfig Settings Manager(CCSM) there are a few window switcher options that have the "All windows" feature. Application Switcher is a basic 2d switcher while Ring Switcher and Shift Switcher offer more eye candy. Whichever one you pick, remember to set hot keys for the bindings marked "All windows".

If I understand what you means for "ungroup"... in a "standard" configuration

the "secret" is... Super button! (the one beetwen Ctrl and Alt)

alt+tab → alt+Super → alt+tab

bye

This doesn't work, the keybinding is ALT + ` – Rubens Mariuzzo Feb 09 '14 at 15:35
