I would like to disable the Alt+Tab (or all of the Alt+ combinations) on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I tried to disable at System preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts, but this method doesn't seem to be working. Later I tried to activate an own shortcut for Alt+Tab (like an overwriting attempt), without any success...

Is there a way to disable this with or without compiz?

    Is there a way to do this programmatically? – gonzobrains Dec 05 '14 at 22:14

    @gonzobrains In the remote case you still need it, `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications "['Tab']"` and `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications-backward "['Tab']"` (tested on Ubuntu 17.10). The default settings bind both `Alt` and `Super`, these commands remove the bindings with the `Alt` key and leave only those with `Super`. – Arch Stanton Apr 26 '18 at 21:31
  • Arch, please make that an answer. I couldn't get the 'correct answer' to work for me, however yours did – oma Oct 16 '18 at 09:06
