[FEATURE REQUEST] Alt-` support to switch between windows within an application #1323

Open adam900710 opened 6 years ago

adam900710 commented 6 years ago

Switched to budgie recent due to the long existing Cinnamon + Nvidia flicker problem.

The only thing I'm missing is alt-` to switch whtin an application.

It's normally OK if only several browser windows are opened. But when coding/debugging/compiling there will be tons of terminal windows floating around with some other unrelated window like browser and music player. In this case, Alt-` will be super handy to only switch inside all terminal windows other than to some other unrelated windows.

I understand it's better to put all the terminals into another workgroup, but it's always good to have another option for user to choose.

It looks like this is available in ubuntu budgie now: https://ubuntubudgie.org/blog/2018/03/08/18-04-release-notes

@bwat47 what that is referring to is an optional applet which is available to all budgie-desktop distro's.

I have been struggling with this issue with Chrome, Vivaldi and Opera browsers as is mentioned here https://www.reddit.com/r/SolusProject/comments/a053xj/switch_windows_of_an_application_setting_shortcut/

@adam900710 If it is just to switch between windows of one and the same application: for quite som time, we' ve got a script for that, which was written on request, in the UB experimental branch. With an argument (or none) it switches either between windows of one applications, or all windows.: https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/experimental/tree/master/unreleased_ready_to_use/nopreviews

As a heavy Chrome user, this feature is essential for me.

As a Googler, I've filed a feature request to add Alt+` to Chrome OS.
