    alt + tab is a hidden, shortcut gesture for quickly switching between the various windows you have open.

    Fuck yeah. As much as there’s some stuff i love about GNOME, the inability to switch between two windows of the same app really confused the hell out of me.

      but you totally can do that with GNOME, it just uses the more macOS-like shortcut of alt/super+` (dead grave), which you can also easily change in the shortcuts section (I myself prefer alt-tab for switching between apps and super+tab to switch between windows of a single app)

    I had elementaryOS for a bit on a spare laptop back with Hera and couldn’t get past the simplicity. Maybe I’ve been tortured by GNOME to accept it’s workflow patterns as my default muscle memory?

      Could be, it’s not that different, though, it inherits a lot of stuff from GNOME.
