is there a way in !ubuntu !linux to switch between open windows of the currently focussed application?

@sandesh247 Are trying to switch between the tabs?
-
@sandesh247 in !linux and !windows alt+tab for switching apps and ctrl+tab for windows in current app (for almost all apps, anyway)
-
@sandesh247 probably on macs too - it's one of those fairly universal things (like ctrl X C V for cut copy and paste)
-
@sandesh247 not tabbed apps I just alt+tab between. Not sure of a way of switching for just that app though, sorry
-
@xoke personally, I feel that feature is a tab-killer. alt-tab can't focus inside these "hidden" tabbed windows. it's a 2-level search.
-
@sandesh247 what key would you use to tab between them though? shift, ctrl and alt are all used with tab... maybe ctrl+alt?
-
@sandesh247 I sincerely hope there is; I really miss that behavior from OSX.
-
@xoke: yep, Ctrl+alt+tab is what taskSwitchXP uses. a bit cumbersome though.
-
@jobias: Couldn't find a way yet. If you are using windows, there's an app, taskSwitchXP, that can do it for you.
-
@omshivaprakash no, just the open windows of an application.
-
@sandesh247 Switching within an app is controlled by that app. Firefox uses Alt+1, 2, etc.
-
@billrandall: true, but perhaps a windowmanager too, could detect multiple gedit _windows_ and allow me to switch between them, right?
-
@sandesh247 Different instances, or different tabs? Toggle through multiple instances with Alt+Tab, but you already knew that.
-
@xoke ctrl+tab switches tabs, not windows. i think @sandesh247 wants something like Apple's command+`
-
@maco *nods* he and I discussed it further. Not used macs in years so not sure about the command+ thing
