Fedora 15/Gnome3 “alt + tab” windowing behavior

If you are a Desktop Linux user, you’ll probably like everything about the new Fedora 15 …

My only gripe is that I found that I hate the new “alt – tab” behavior clunky and meant I had to use my mouse more. Specifically when navigating many terminal windows, rather than alt +tab (which changes apps, but does not rotate windows of the same app as on most operating systems) I had to use my mouse. This grew old quickly, and made me re-discover how helpful multiple tabs in one window were. But I still missed being able to open a window, send it to the background, then quickly (without my mouse) open it back up.

I was glad to find there is a great solution, and I think it makes for a better interface. Now instead use “Alt + ~” which will scroll only between windows of the same app … it will take some getting used to, but I’ve already found it saves the number of keys I must use to go where I want.
