[Bug 311303] [NEW] Wishlist: Alt+Tab style switching for desktops in Compiz

[Sridhar Dhanapalan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

This is a wishlist item, not a bug report.

For a long time, it has been possible on many GUI environments to cycle
through windows in the order in which they were last used by using the
Alt+Tab key binding.

Some desktops have taken this convenience further and added the ability
to cycle through desktops in a similar manner. On Kwin (KDE's window
manager), this is called "Walk through Desktops", complementing the
standard "Walk through Windows" feature that is available just about
everywhere.

This is especially for those of us who have >2 virtual desktops or
workspaces open. I've personally got mine set to switch desktops using
Win+Tab, to complement Alt+Tab for windows-switching. I already
appreciate that you can move through windows linearly, but that is not
useful when there are many desktops open. There should be a way to make
switching desktops just as convenient as switching windows.
