The first things I changed in compizconfig-settings-manager (CCSM) in Fedora
Posted by MB in Uncategorized on March 17, 2010
- Turned off “Static Application Switcher” and turned on “Application Switcher”
Affects what you see when you ALT-TAB - Made sure Expo was turned on
(Keystroke: WIN-E) - Turned off “Snapping Windows” (annoys me, personally)
- Turned on “Shift Switcher” – This caused some conflicts in keybindings so I chose Resolve Conflicts and Disable Zoom Windows and Disable Exit Expo.
Keystroke: WIN-TAB
