I am running GNOME desktop v2.16.0 on RedHat Enterprise Linux v5.3.
I would like to assign the Alt-Tab key to cycle through the currently running applications like Microsoft Windows does.
I believe I've seen this work on Linux before, how can I configure my system so that this works as desired?
1Can you explain what Alt-Tab is doing currently? – Matthew Talbert – 2009-09-16T17:39:26.500
Presently, Alt-Tab does nothing. – WilliamKF – 2009-09-16T18:08:37.050
