Description Elijah Newren 2004-10-15 04:46:20 UTC
This will be a tracker for window and workspace selection bugs, i.e. for
enhancements and bugs relating to how the user tries to switch from using one
window or workspace to another.  I will start this off in a minute by adding
dependencies for the following bugs:

 86390  allow selection of icons in alt-tab popup via mouse
 97725  allow dynamic mapping of windows to keys in alt-tab popup
102656  make a 'sticky' alt-tab popup (or improve current one) for a11y
106249  windows with SKIP_TASKBAR should not appear in alt-tab list
107072  make alt-esc focus tasklist instead of a minimized window
109798  various a11y issues (mostly about the same as 102656 though)
122674  more versatile move window to workspace options
136666  minimized windows in alt-tab list should be bracketed/dimmed
139737  use icons for move to workspace left/right in popup menu
143511  alt-tab should show same windows as window list
145281  move to workspace submenu should contain workspace previews
151183  "move to another workspace" submenu useless when only have 2 workspaces
152661  provide ability to switch to a window in a given direction
154593  unfocusable windows are included in the alt-tab list
155216  extra alt-tab popup options (for quitting apps, etc.)
155369  shaded window that doesn't accept focus can be given focus by metacity

Oops, that was 126674, not 122674.
Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2004-10-17 23:22:40 UTC
Adding:
 94682  ability to cycle windows in the same application/group
Comment 3 André Klapper 2020-11-06 20:09:11 UTC
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
