Hi all,
I just wrote a gnome-shell extensions which replaces the 
Alt+tab Behavior by the former form (no grouping, windows just ordered 
by date)
I know it might soundcounter-productive to code such an extension,
 but after two months of everyday use, I was just not able to get used 
to the AltTab it provided.
I mean, I know how to use it, by the way my windows are arranged across workspaces, the navigation was a hassle : I have : 
  - Workspace 1 : terminals + other tools
  - Workspace 2 : Email
  - Workspace 3 : Browser
I usually go from one terminal to the e-mail or from the terminal to the
 browser several times. With the gnome-shell Alt-tab, I'm forced to 
press several times tab, whereas with "mine" I only have to press once 
since it brings me to the last i interacted with.
The use of alt+tab has been discussed for a while and I don't want 
to impose my opinion to others, that's why I used the extension system.
If anyone wants to use it, just download 
http://tbouffon.free.fr/AlternateTab.tar.gz , move it to .local/share/gnome-shell/
extensions, untar it and restart the shell.
This one is for 2.91.4, if anyone wants it for 2.31, I have it too.
Any feedback is welcome.
Cheers,
Thomas
