Subject: [gentoo-user] Gnome: Switching windows backward using the window list

1 Hello.

3 In Gnome (2.16 and earlier and later), you can switch forward through
4 the available windows on the current workspace by hitting <Alt>+<Tab>.
5 Going backwards should be possible by hitting <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab>, just
6 like it is on MS Windows. However, <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab> for some reason
7 doesn't work on my machines in Gnome. When I hit <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab>,
8 I still switch through the windows forward.

10 According to a reply I got from somebody on the german gnome Usenet
11 group (<news:4612d639$0$15956$9b4e6d93@×××××××××××××××××××××××.net>, if
12 you're interested), <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab> works for him on Gnome 2.16.1
13 und Metacity 2.16.3 in Ubuntu 6.10. I'm also using Metacity 2.16.3,
14 on a x86 machine, if that matters.

16 Could you guys please check, if <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab> works for you?
17 What should happen is, that if you hold down <Alt> and then hit <Tab>
18 a number of times, you switch forward through the list. If you hold
19 down <Alt> AND <Shift> and then hit <Tab> a number of times, you should
20 go backwards.
21
22 Does that happen for you?

24 Thanks,
