<title>Switch between windows</title>

  
You can see all the running applications that have a graphical user

  interface in the window switcher. This makes

  switching between tasks a single-step process and provides a full picture of

  which applications are running.

  
From a workspace:

  <steps>

    <item>

      
Press

      <keyseq><key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>

      to bring up the <gui>window switcher</gui>.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Release <key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key> to select the next

      (highlighted) window in the switcher.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Otherwise, still holding down the <key xref="keyboard-key-super">

      Super</key> key, press <key>Tab</key> to cycle through the list of open

      windows, or <keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq> to cycle

      backwards.

    </item>

  </steps>

  
You can also use the window list on the

  bottom bar to access all your open windows and switch between them.

  <note style="tip" if:test="!platform:gnome-classic">

    
Windows in the window switcher are grouped by application. Previews of

    applications with multiple windows pop down as you click through. Hold down

    <key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key> and press <key>`</key> (or the

    key above <key>Tab</key>) to step through the list.

  </note>

  
You can also move between the application icons in the window

  switcher with the <key>→</key> or <key>←</key> keys, or

  select one by clicking it with the mouse.

  
Previews of applications with a single window can be displayed with

  the <key>↓</key> key.

  
From the <gui>Activities</gui> overview, click on a

  <link xref="shell-windows">window</link> to switch to it and leave the

  overview. If you have multiple

  <link xref="shell-windows#working-with-workspaces">workspaces</link> open,

  you can click on each workspace to view the open windows on each

  workspace.
