I use Shift Switcher to surf through the open windows and select the desired one. I've configured the combinations so that they don't conflict with others. Mainly I use the next window, Super + Q and previous window,Super + Shift + Q switches. But release the keys (or the Super key) does not make the selected window active; I have to hit the modifier keys like Return, Shift, Alt, etc. or click with the mouse pointer for both switcher modes (Cover/Flip). But I'd like the selected window getting activated right when I release the button, similar to what we have with the Alt + Tab switching.

snap1a (flip mode shift switch)

snap1b (cover mode shift switch)

Here's a snapshot of my key combinations for the Window Management option in CompizConfig Settings Manager:

  • I don't exactly remember, but most possibly you have to disable a settings in unity for disabling that `super` key binding. Again I don't remember exactly, so I will let you know if I find the exact setting. I got it by googling. – Web-E Jan 02 '14 at 06:09

    Yeah, most possibly this is the issue - [Ring switcher is not automatically selecting the windows on key release](http://askubuntu.com/q/124087) . Don't use `super` or remap `super` in unity. – Web-E Jan 02 '14 at 06:11
