Before I upgraded to 19.04 "Switch windows of an application" used to switch windows of the current application. For example, if I was using a web browser(focused) and had multiple windows open, I would use the "Switch windows of an application" function to immediately cycle through the windows. Since upgrading to 19.04, this same function starts by cycling through the windows of an application which is not focused. I haven't figured out the logic of which application is chooses. Interestingly, this doesn't happen with every application. Terminator, for example, seems to be cycling through its own windows when in focus and using the window switch function. Anybody else experience this?

I've noticed that using Super+Tab in 19.04 starts on the focused application which is not very efficient for quickly switching back and forth between applications.   The old functionality was that when you typed Super+Tab it would start on the last application you had focused, not the current. Anyone else seeing this?

Within the last week my Windows XP workstation has begun randomly losing focus from the active window. I've seen this in multiple applications including FireFox, Notepad, Putty, Visual Studio etc. There is no application stealing the focus, instead the active window simply goes inactive and there is no active window visible. In the taskbar the application I am working in is still highlighted - so that application is active but its window does not have the focus.  This is not focus-stealing feature you are thinking of that you can configure with Tweak UI. I checked that and its not enabled and anyway that is working the way its supposed to and looks different since its configured to make the grabbing application flash in the task bar.   This looks more like some other app runs, grabs the focus and then exits. The desktop is in the same state you have when you exit the active application.  Any ideas?

Ubuntu 18.04 (and presumably other versions that use Gnome, such as 17.10 and 18.10) has global keyboard shortcuts for switching among applications based on their location in the dock with Super-0...9:    But if you have multiple windows a given application open, instead of switching to the application, it will display a menu of all the open windows. You have to select one of the windows (using Enter or the mouse) to switch to the application.    Is there a way of having these global shortcuts instead automatically switch to the window of the application that's closest to the foreground?

Between Ctrl and Alt, modern keyboards have an abominable key: the 'Windows' key :P    By default, when this key is pressed alone it opens the Start menu. Many applications and a great number of games work in fullscreen mode, and if you press this key accidentally, most of times because you wanted to press the Ctrl or Alt keys, the application usually freezes for a while and  minimizes itself. If you are lucky, your videogame will pause, but sometimes it continues even when it is minimized.  Is it possible to disable the 'Windows' key?  It would be possible to show the Start menu with another combination of keys? I would like to keep combinations that use the Windows key working, like Windows+L, which leaves current session.

I'd like to do something with my windows on OS X, where something includes options like re-arranging, moving, re-sizing, remembering positions, cloning across Spaces, etc. What options exist?  Rules   One app per answer. Use this format for the first two lines of your answer: ## [app name](link to website) [App Store](link to appstore) (price)    Check for duplicates before adding new answers.  If you find a duplicate, vote it down and encourage its poster to upvote the original entry instead (and remove the dupe). Include short description about what this Window Managing app does.  What makes this Window Manager app different than the others? Is it focused on re-sizing using only the keyboard? Is it focused on moving using only mouse gestures? Etc.

With Windows 10 Microsoft migrated to a database-ish solution for indexing programs in search and the start menu, rather than just using a /startmenu/ directory. AFAIK the exact implementation is still pretty unclear, but there is something along those lines.  Updating from 8.1 to 10 causes it to migrate everything from /startmenu/ to the new system, which ignoring issues such as a (seemingly arbitrary) cap of 500 applications, works fine.  However this failed for me, and from googling seems to be an issue from upgrading with an older dev build, which then carried on to RTM.  So does anyone know a way to force a rebuild/re-index of the program library? Rebuilding the system wide index through control panel (also in &lt;=8.1) has no effect.

Enabling Bias alt-tab sorting to prefer windows on the current viewport as described  made no difference. How can I get back the exact same behavior as 11.04, so that alt-tab only switches between windows on the current workspace?  Simply disabling the alt-tab and shift-alt-tab keybindings on the unity switcher seems to have helped, but it still switches workspaces on me sometimes.  For example, if I give a terminal window focus then press alt-tab, it switches to another terminal window on any workspace before trying to switch on the same workspace. Also, the Unity switcher still shows up when I alt-tab then hold alt even though I removed its alt-tab keybinding.

Every time I switch into Full Screen (F11) in chrome it says "You've gone full screen. Exit Full Screen (F11)".   Can I disable this from showing up? I know how to exit full screen.

Is there a Windows utility that keeps a record of the size and position of all active windows for later retrieval?  For example, if I have my text editor and web browser open side-by-side, and then open Outlook full screen, I'd like a keyboard shortcut to quickly switch back to the editor/browser configuration.  I'm thinking of something like Emacs's .  Does such a thing exist?

I would like to switch between windows using the scroll wheel of the mouse over each app icon in Ubuntu dock, as we could do in Unity, but apparently this doesn't work in Ubuntu 17.10. Is there a way to enable it?   Related:

I opened two Google Chrome windows (because I am using multiple Gmails) and when I do the Cmd ⌘ Tab ⇥ shortcut it just shows me other applications that I opened but does not show me the other Chrome windows that are already opened.  How to switch to the other Google Chrome window that I opened using keyboard shortcut?

One of the big new features for Windows is the fact that multiple "virtual" desktops are now natively supported, allowing you to organise collections of windows together and separate groups of tasks.  This is good.  You can move windows between desktops by clicking the "tasks" button and then right clicking an application window and selecting "Move to..."  This is a bit clunky and not quite so good.  I have two monitors and often like to have a film playing on my second monitor, either in a web browser or media player, while I have a browser and some other applications on the main screen. Doing this isn't a problem in my current setup, it just works.   With the advent of virtual desktops I was wanting to put the browser on one virtual desktop and another app on another virtual desktop and still be able to watch the video when I switch desktops, effectively having it visible on both virtual desktops. Using the default Film &amp; TV app to play a video and then moving to another desktop simply results in your video stopping without any warning.   This is not good.  What I was hoping was that either the two monitors would have their own virtual desktop or their would be some "pin to all desktops" option similar to the "sticky window" feature that I have seen in many Linux based window managers.  Is there some way to achieve this?

When using task switching in the default graphical mode of Ubuntu 12.04, if they are multiple windows of the same kind, eg. multiple Terminal windows, you can see them all together and select which one you want.    My problem is that the order of these windows is constantly changed. It follows the "last used" order. I want them in a fix order always; how can I do it?

In FF, I can move a tab to a new window by either dragging the tab out of the browser, or right clicking the "move to New window" option from the context menu. is there a shortcut key to move the current tab to a new window without dragging or using the context menu, or a way to set one up?  Often, I like to look at 2 tabs side by side, so I drag one out, then hit WINDOWS KEY+→ to put the detached tab on the right, then ALT+TAB to tab back to the main window, then WINDOWS KEY+← to put the main window on the left. It would be great if I could do the whole process on the keyboard.  I checked  documentation and did not find any shortcut key for detaching a tab:

How to access (or switch between) tray icons with defined shortcuts in windows? I have many running programs which I cannot reach with alt-tab because they are not in taskbar - they are in tray. How do you reach those applications without a mouse? I heard of some tricky keys combination (like ctrl+esc esc tab tab tab and then find application with arrow keys), but it's ridiculous to use such long keys combination for such simple task. Is there any utility to manage switching like TaskSwitchXP for alt+tab? Or maybe TaskSwitchXP has possibility to access applications in tray?

Is there a way to preserve the taskbar order while switching between virtual desktops in Windows 10? The order resets on my PC every time, and that's very annoying.
