On Ubuntu 12.04, how do I disable or change the Alt+` shortcut which lets you switch between multiple windows of a single application? (see below for Terminal example)
My Windows VM in Korean needs to use that keyboard combination to switch character sets.

To disable (or change) the Alt+` and Alt+Shift+` to switch between multiple windows of one application:
Click here to install the Compiz Settings Manager (CCSM) using the Software Center
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
from the terminalStart it from the Dash or by typing
ccsm
from the terminal.Type "Unity" in the filter box on the left, and click on the Ubuntu Unity Plugin:
Click on the Switcher Tab on top, and
The Alt+` is now disabled. To also disable the reverse Alt+Shift+` shortcut, repeat step 4 for the Key to flip through windows in the switcher entry.
Finally, close CCSM and if you no longer need it, please consider uninstalling it.
