Ubuntu 16.04, I am trying to set switch window shortcut to super + tab.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows "['<Super>Tab']"

However, the super(win key) + tab still not work.

I also try unity tweak tools, fail as well.

Any methods to replace alt + tab with super + tab?

For alternative, you can try using Ring Switcher which is CompizConfig plugin, the plugin offer switching windows with Alt + Tab key as default shortcut.

Make sure you have install CompizConfig first, to install, press Ctrl+Alt+T to go to a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Open CompizConfig, then select Window Management section on left pane. Search for Ring Switcher and enable it by ticking the checkbox.

NOTE: You might want to disable Super key (the Windows icon) on your keyboard, as the key will trigger unity dash to pop up.

How do I prevent the "Super" button from opening the dash?

@Liso the tool you recommend works: CompizConfig.

  1. Install CompizConig
  2. On the left panel "Desktop", click "Ubuntu Unity Plugin"
  3. In "Switcher" tab

  4. Set:

    "key to start switcher": <Super>Tab

    "key to flip through windows in the Switcher": <Super>grave
