Hey everyone! Quick question for you all – I’ve been working like crazy on my laptop lately, mostly on Ubuntu, and I’ve hit a bit of a snag when it comes to managing multiple windows of the same application. You know how it gets, right? You’ve got a bunch of browser tabs open, maybe a couple of terminal windows, and even a document or two, all from the same app. It can get pretty chaotic, not to mention confusing.
So, I was wondering if anyone here knows the keyboard shortcut for switching between those multiple windows of the same application on Ubuntu? It feels like I’ve tried almost everything and I’m either getting lost in the chaos or just swapping between entirely different apps instead. It’s driving me a bit nuts!
I remember reading somewhere that there’s a specific shortcut that can save a ton of time and hassle when you’re juggling multiple instances of the same app, but for the life of me, I can’t seem to recall what it was. I mean, using the mouse is one way to go, but we all know that keyboard shortcuts can make life so much easier and make you feel like a total pro, right?
If you’ve got any tips or if you could just drop that shortcut in here, I’d really appreciate it! Also, if you have any other cool keyboard shortcuts you use on Ubuntu that help you stay organized while working on several windows, please share those too! I’m all ears for anything that can help streamline my workflow a bit.
Let’s face it, whether you’re a seasoned Ubuntu user or just jumping into the whole Linux scene, managing multiple windows can be a challenge. So, I’m sure I’m not the only one who could use a little guidance with this! Thanks in advance!
Keyboard Shortcuts for Managing Windows on Ubuntu
Hey, I totally get the struggle with managing multiple windows! It can get super chaotic really fast.
So, for switching between windows of the same application in Ubuntu, you can use this keyboard shortcut:
Alt + ` (the backtick key, usually located above the Tab key)
This should let you cycle through the open windows of the same application, like your browser windows or terminal windows. Super handy!
Also, here are a couple more keyboard shortcuts that might help you stay organized:
Give those a shot and see if they help make your workflow smoother! Good luck out there!
To switch between multiple windows of the same application on Ubuntu, you can use the keyboard shortcut Alt + ` (backtick). This shortcut allows you to cycle through the open instances of the currently focused application seamlessly. The backtick key is usually located just above the Tab key on most keyboards. This is particularly useful for applications like web browsers and terminal emulators, where you often have multiple windows or tabs open, helping you manage your workflow without unnecessary mouse clicks. If for some reason this doesn’t work due to your keyboard layout or specific system settings, you can also try Ctrl + Alt + Arrow keys to navigate through your application windows.
In addition to the window switcher shortcut, consider integrating Super + Number (where the number corresponds to the position of the application in the launcher) into your workflow for quick access to specific applications. Also, Ctrl + Alt + T opens a new terminal window and helps immensely if you’re working with multiple terminal instances. Lastly, using Alt + Tab can help you switch between applications quickly, though it cycles through all open apps rather than just instances of the same one. Mastering these shortcuts can greatly enhance your efficiency and organization on Ubuntu.
