Hello all,

I hope I'm not writing in the wrong place. I come from Gnome (Shell, Unity...) and there is a feature I really like that I cannot find in KDE. It is the possibility to change between instances of the same application from the application switcher. I mean, when I use Alt + Tab in KDE, I can either move though ALL the windows of all the applications (cluttered!), or I can choose to be presented with only one instance for every application. If I want to choose between the instances, then, I have to use Alt + ' once I've selected the right one. What I miss is an Alt + Tab which presents only the open applications, instead of the windows, and then from there (with the arrows, for example) allows to cycle through all the open instances of a single application. Is there something like this in KDE that I'm not finding?

Thank you,

Giovanni

what gets most close is to use Ctrl+F7 which opens all windows of the currently active application. So alt+tab to your application, then ctrl+f7 to switch between windows of that application.

Thanks. Complicated, though... does the fact that it is indicated as a bug mean that somebody plans to add this feature?

I think that's rather unlikely.

Look closer.
It's indicated as "wishlist", not as bug :-P

Personally I consider the tabbox a relict UI element (inferior to present windows) but do not see why online switching of modes should not be possible (but for 5.1 at best)

Ok, thanks! Nice wish, then

Cheers,

Giovanni
