Ubuntu – Universal Alt-Tab

application-switchershortcut-keyswindow-managerwindowsxubuntu

Frequently, I am playing a game and someone I would like to chat with comes online but I am unable to switch to the chat windows because the game is grabbing my mouse. In windows, I can just Alt+Tab out of anything and then proceed to do something else.

I am currently running Xubuntu 11.10. How can I make Alt+Tab switch me from any application, no matter what?

I used to have a problem with this while playing WoW. I found a solution in using the workspace switcher. I keep WoW in the last workspace by itself, and my chat/browers in another workspace. Hope this works for you as well as it did for me, but note I'm using the Wine platform to play WoW. May cause a difference. Cheers!
