How do we prevent alt-tab switching from changing workspaces

gnomegnome3

Can we prevent alt-tab from switching workspaces in Gnome 3? I'd prefer that when switch apps with alt-tab, it will switch to the last used window of that app in the current workspace (it may be minimized, in which case it unminimizes it).

Best Answer

Simply run this command from a terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.app-switcher current-workspace-only true

With newer versions of Gnome, this is a configurable setting so installing additional software is no longer necessary.
