This article is about how Unity uses keyboard shortcuts to switch application windows in Ubuntu. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

First, use Alt + Tab to switch between different programs on the current desktop

1, press the Alt + Tab key combination, the screen shows the program toggle bar; press and hold the Alt key, and then press the Tab key repeatedly, the program in the toggle bar will display a white halo in the order from left to right, when the halo reaches the target program, release the button, and the target program immediately becomes the current window.

2. Tips:

1) first press the Alt key on the right, and then press the Tab key, at this time, if you open more programs, the target program is just on the left side of the program, you can press the Shift key on the left, and the toggle bar will switch in reverse order from right to left.

2) instead of holding down the Alt key, quickly pressing the key combination will switch between two different program windows that were recently opened, rather than switching to the third program.

Second, use Alt + `keys to switch between different windows of the same application

1. Press Alt + `(the key above the Tab key) to switch between different windows of the current program, instead of switching to the windows of other programs. For example, if you open two browser windows at the same time, you can use this pair of key combinations to switch only between the two browser windows.

2, tips: press the key combination, if you want to switch from the current program, you can press the Tab key, you can switch to the switching mode between different programs. In fact, each kind can be converted into another at any time.

Third, use Super + w to see a cooler way to switch.

1, press the Super + w key combination, will start the "exhibition" switch mode, all the windows are arranged on the booth as tiled on the entire desktop, visually cool, but also help to preview the specific content of each program window.

2. Tips:

1) the Super key is the Win key to the left of the space.

2) need to click with the mouse to activate the target window.

Third, use Super + Launcher + numeric keys to switch

1, hold down the Super key, the Launcher (program launcher) on the left side of the screen will be in the program switching state, each program icon above will appear a number, then press the number on the target program on the keyboard, the program window will be in the current window position.

2. Tips:

1) there will be a white sign on the left side of the currently running program on Launcher, if a program has only one window, the sign is a white triangle; if two windows are open, it will become two short horizontal lines; three or more windows will show three short horizontal lines.

2) if the program corresponding to the keystroke number is not running, the program will start.

3) if you hold down the Super and Shift keys and press the number key at the same time, the program corresponding to the number will open a new window, regardless of whether it was running or not.

Of course you can use the mouse! And it works.

The mouse is the most convenient input device, of course, the Unity desktop can easily use the mouse. In a program switch, click the program icon on the Launcher with the mouse, and if it is already running, its window will become current; if it is the current program and has more than two windows open, these windows will be selected side by side. The interface is similar to pressing Alt + `.
