@brandontschaefer; yes you are right, I've updated the description to say: "- if window B if focused pressing the DOWN cursor key should shift the focus to window C"
** Description changed: if I have two windows of a particular application type in the alt-tab switcher displayed vertically I alt tab to the type of application I want then I want to press down to go to the lower one when focus is on the top one. I actually have to press right. If I press left (expecting right and left to be equivalent when they are supposed to mean "down") then I go to the previous kind of application. If I then realise my error and press right twice (once to undo the unintentional left, and once to go down to the application window I am aiming for) then I overshoot and go to the kind of application that is in the switcher to the right of the one I am trying to get to. Then I have to go left again, to get on the correct type of application. Down to expand the icons and right to go down to get to the window I have been trying to get to all along. - ------------------------------------ Desired solution: ------ First diagram for purpose of explaining desired solution when a app has 3 windows open: ------- ------- | A | | B | ------- ------- - ------- - | C | - ------- + ------- + | C | + ------- When a Alt+Tab or Alt+` window spread is open: - if window A if focused pressing the UP cursor key should close the spread - if window A if focused pressing the DOWN cursor key should shift the focus to window C - if window A if focused pressing the RIGHT cursor key should shift the focus to window B - if window B if focused pressing the UP cursor key should shift the focus to window A - - if window B if focused pressing the DOWN cursor key should do nothing - + - if window B if focused pressing the DOWN cursor key should shift the + focus to window C ------ Second diagram for purpose of explaining desired solution when a app has 2 windows open: ------- | A | ------- - ------- - | B | + ------- + | B | ------- When a Alt+Tab or Alt+` window spread is open: - if window A if focused pressing the UP cursor key should close the spread - if window A if focused pressing the DOWN cursor key should shift the focus to window B - if window A if focused pressing the RIGHT cursor key should shift the focus to window B - if window B if focused pressing the UP cursor key should shift the focus to window A - if window B if focused pressing the DOWN cursor key should do nothing -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1131646 Title: alt-tab - cursor keys to navigate switcher are counter-intuitive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1131646/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
