Is there a faster way to switch between program instances?
I find it kinda slow to have to wait for the animation when all the instances of a program (e.g. all open firefox windows) are placed as thumbnails over the screen. Is there a faster/smoother way to switch between instances of a program without having to alt+Tab through ALL programs? Or an easy way to speed up or prevent the animation?
Thanks for any suggestions :)
Try using alt+`. This can be used with alt+Tab to switch between instances of other open programs.
If you keep pressed Super, it shows Alt+\ to switch to another window of the same application, but I have an italian keyboard so I don't know if it works for other configs.
Probably, in your keyboard layout you should use Alt+key-above-tab
A note for KDE users: the default shortcut for this feature is Alt+`, which, by the way, is not very practical for some keyboard layouts (german, italian for example).
To change this to Alt+\ (as it is the default in Unity) go to:
- System settings
- Keyboard shorcuts
- Global keyboard shortcuts
- Among KDE components Select "KWin"
- Search for the character `. It should appear the "Switch between window application" shortcut.
- Change the default shortcut with your preferred key combination (I used Alt+\)
