No Alt + Tab in 14.04 Gnome Flashback session?

I've just upgraded to 14.04 and installed the Gnome Flashback Session. However, Alt + Tab doesn't bring up an application switcher. I've tried Compiz Config Settings Manager, but there are no options for the switcher outside of the Unity menus. Is there a work around for this? I much prefer Classic / Flashback over Unity...

Any help is greatly appreciated...


Solution 1:

First try through the

  • Basic settings

Go to 'Applications','System Tools','System Settings'

Click 'Keyboard'

Click the 'Shortcuts Tab'

Click 'Navigation' on the left

In the right-hand pane click on 'Switch applications' and press Alt-Tab to assign that as the accelerator.

EDIT: It's been marked in comments, citing "The first method alone does not work. The compiz plugins are definitely necessary!". I can not check it at the moment, now I just put this comment here.

Or can be fixed by installing

  • Compiz

and enabling Static Application Switcher

sudo apt-get install compiz
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

you might need to install compiz-plugins-extra as well and then

ccsm
