How do I disable the alt+tab switching between Gnome 2 windows?
Which part of Gnome is responsible for doing the alt+tab ? metacity ?
I am using Gnome 2.16.0 (RHEL5). I do not see any keyboard shortcut for alt+tab, when listing the configuration database:
$ gconftool-2 -R / | egrep -i alt
mouse_button_modifier =
switch_to_workspace_down = Down
switch_to_workspace_left = Left
switch_to_workspace_up = Up
switch_to_workspace_right = Right
move_to_workspace_up = Up
maximize = F10
unmaximize = F5
minimize = F9
begin_move = F7
move_to_workspace_down = Down
move_to_workspace_right = Right
move_to_workspace_left = Left
begin_resize = F8
On the web there are some questions relating to alt+tab and Gnome 3, but nothing about completely disabling alt+tab in Gnome 3.
Background:
I am running linux in a RealVNC window on a Windows10 pc, and would like alt+tab to switch between my Windows10 windows, and not between Gnome windows.
