Alt-tab works as expected, the shortcut for application window switching does not work! If you start ccsm and click the 'Ubuntu Unity Plugin', on the second tab named 'Switcher' you'll get two shortcut options:
Key to flip through windows in the switcher and Key to flip through windows in the switcher backwards I have those bound to <Control>backslash (I replaced tilde/celsius with backslash in my keyboard layout) and <Shift><Control><Primary> (that works fine, even if it is all modifiers). Those shortcuts used to behave exactly like alt-tab, but for application windows instead of whole applications. So I have two terminals open and want to switch between them, then I could just press ctrl-backslash once and it switched. Now, after the upgrade, it just shows the switcher with the window grid expanded on the first press, but does not switch. I have to press ctrl-backslash twice to switch to the other application window. Alt-tab works exactly as I expect it to work! But I can't use it to switch between windows quickly, it switches to the next application (just as I expect). So if I would want to switch between two terminals with alt-tab I would have to press once to switch to the next application, then switch backwards to go back to the terminal application group, then wait for the windows to expand and finally switch to the other terminal. ** Tags added: apport-collected compiz-0.9 possible-manual-nvidia- install running-unity ubuntu ** Description changed: With the latest update to 5.14.0-0ubuntu1 the application window switching shortcut is not working as expected. It should be similar to alt-tab, where just quickly pressing it once flips between the two most recent applications. The window switching should behave the same way but for application windows, but instead pressing it quickly does nothing first because it only expands the window grid in the switcher, to actually switch to another window you have to press it at least twice. - In the previous version, 5.12, the window switching shortcut behaviour - was correct (or as I expected it to be). + In the previous version, 5.12, the window switching shortcut behaviour was correct (or as I expected it to be). + --- + .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' + .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.1: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/1' + .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" + .proc.driver.nvidia.version: + NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 295.49 Mon Apr 30 23:46:33 PDT 2012 + GCC version: gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) + .tmp.unity.support.test.0: + + ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu12 + Architecture: amd64 + CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,mousepoll,grid,place,snap,regex,gnomecompat,dbus,imgpng,session,workarounds,move,scale,resize,expo,wall,resizeinfo,unitymtgrabhandles,ezoom,unityshell] + CompositorRunning: compiz + DistUpgraded: 2012-04-05 18:09:37,535 DEBUG failed to SystemUnLock() (E:Not locked) + DistroCodename: precise + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 + DistroVariant: ubuntu + EcryptfsInUse: Yes + GraphicsCard: + NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] [10de:0e22] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) + Subsystem: eVga.com.
