When I have multiple windows of an application opened e.g. Chrome main window and Incognito window, and I press Alt+tab to switch between them, I see only one Chrome icon. I have to then press down key and then right (or left) to switch to the window I want.



How can I separate all opened windows and just press tab again while pressing Alt key, like we used to in earlier versions of Ubuntu?

          Go to Settings > Devices > Keyboard and scroll down the list of shortcuts. Alt + Tab will be the shortcut for Switch Applications.



          What you want is to set Alt + Tab on Switch Windows instead, so click Switch Applications and press backspace to clear the shortcut for it. Click set. Then click Switch Windows and set Alt + Tab there instead. This will give you the desired function.
