Ubuntu – What’s the shortcut for opening home folder

The CompizConfig Settings Manager is the correct application to use to change this keyboard shortcut when you're using Compiz as your window manager.

Compiz has several plugins that can be used to switch between applications, and they all have a different look & feel:

1. Application Switcher
2. Ring Switcher
3. Shift Switcher
4. Static Application Switcher

In ccsm, you can enable or disable a plugin by using the little checkbox on the left of the plugin icon. Try the four switcher plugins above (always only enable one at a time to avoid conflicts) and decide which one you like best.

The Application Switcher plugin does not support (as far as I can see) switching windows of the same application. The other three plugins do, though: To change the keyboard shortcut for switching windows of the same application, click on the plugin icon that you are using and look for a setting like Next/Previous Window Key (Group). Example for the Shift Switcher:

I'm looking for the same answer, but I haven't found a good solution yet.

In the interim, I've swapped my alt, ctrl which helps with keeping my muscle memory.

This might work for you in the mean time:

setxkbmap -layout 'us,us' -option 'ctrl:swap_lalt_lctl'

And you might have to keep Gnome from resetting your layout:

sudo gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard active false

Hopefully someone a little bit more knowledgeable will provide a solution to keep from using Shift+Ctrl+c in the terminal.

[EDIT] Turns out the settings don't last past a reboot. I set this in my xorg.conf
