Try alt+super Alt-Super didn't do anything for me. Certainly Super by itself brings up the activities view, but Alt-Super does nothing. (It's hard to press Alt-Super anyway since the keys are right next to other.) However, I did try Alt-Esc, and that does cycle between windows. However, it doesn't bring up the nice heads-up display that you get when using Alt-Tab. All it does is show you a thick black outline of each window as you press Alt-Esc, and it does that in an unreliable way at that -- i.e., the thick black outline is skewed from where the real border ends up being when you actually land on the target window by releasing Alt-Esc. On a separate topic, I have a very strange problem. Last week I did two fresh installations of Debian, one on a laptop machine and one on a desktop machine. Here's the rub: I cannot run Gnome 3 on the desktop machine, but I can run it on the laptop machine. When I log in on the desktop machine, even with Gnome 3 chosen explicitly at the login prompt, it logs me into Gnome Classic anyway. The very first time I logged in on the desktop machine, immediately after the fresh install of Debian, I did see a brief notification about some problem starting Gnome, but I don't recall what it said. Since then, I don't see any notification about a problem. Nevertheless, all I can use on the desktop machine is Gnome Classic. Meanwhile, the laptop machine runs both Gnome 3 and Gnome Classic just fine. It's the weirdest thing. One of these days I'll try yet another fresh install of Debian on the desktop machine, expecting different results. That's the very definition of insanity, right? :) Thanks Hashem. -- Patrick _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
