I'd like application switching to include applications from all workspaces. While the settings look correct, application switching does not include applications from all workspaces but applications from the current workspace only. Changing the settings below "Application Switching" seems to have no effect.

I think to remember it worked nicely a few days ago. Since then, I've made some virtual machine installation tests and it is possible I've made modifications that ended with this bug. Is there a way to solve this problem?

  • Linux distribution: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
  • Linux kernel version: 5.15.0-43-generic

  • Sorry, I'm not sure to understand what that has to do with my problem... – TVG Aug 09 '22 at 08:18
  • you haven't so much asked a question as made a feature request. **Ask** Ubuntu is a Q&A site. – graham Aug 09 '22 at 08:24

    The feature I want (including applications from all workspaces when switching with ALT+TAB) already exists. It is just that it doesn't work properly on my PC. While the corresponding option is correctly activated in my settings, the resulting behavior is not the one expected. Then, my question is: How to solve this bug? Thanks. – TVG Aug 09 '22 at 08:29
  • It is also possible to file a bug now at the console if you type `ubuntu-bug` – graham Aug 09 '22 at 08:35

Super+Tab keyboard shortcut will give you the functionality you need.. under settings->keyboard->navigation->switch applications you can change the keyboard shortcut to Alt+Tab if that's your preference.

    There are two different shortcuts: "Switch windows" (`Alt+Tab`) and "Switch applications" (`Super+Tab`). I expect both behave according to the `Settings->Multitasking->Application Switching` configuration. `Super+Tab` correctly behave depending on the "all/each workspace(s)" configuration but not on the "all/each monitor(s)" configuration. `Alt+Tab` does not. – TVG Aug 12 '22 at 13:17
  • I can't help but think this is a "feature". So you can have both isolated application switching and cross-workspace application switching without having to choose one or the other in the setup. One more hotkey is maybe a bit of a pain to memorise, but I think this actually solves it for me. I know about 600 or so hotkeys, so one more isn't going to break me. :) I do wish it would show thumbnails previews instead of oversized icons however. – C.Rogers Sep 30 '22 at 11:18
