Setting Alt-Tab behaviour on GNOME

2025-04-01

I prefer restricting the Alt-Tab behaviour to switch windows on the current workspace, much like how Ubuntu achieves this. To change on GNOME:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications-backward "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows "['<Alt>Tab', '<Super>Tab']"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows-backward  "['<Alt><Shift>Tab', '<Super><Shift>Tab']"
