[Solved] GNOME 3: can't Alt-Tab multiple times

When trying to Alt-Tab, I can only Alt-Tab to the next window. Normally you would be able to hold alt and press tab multiple times, but for some reason no matter how many times I press Tab again it will only go to the next window. This is on a fresh install of GNOME. Just yesterday on a seperate system the expected behavior worked fine on a fresh install of GNOME. What is happening here?

Video card? Driver? Journal?

Gnome probably has its own UI for configuring key presses, have you looked at that?

Moving to NC...

Looks like it was the extension AlternativeTab causing the issue. That part is strange because that extension is installed along with GNOME Shell. If anyone else comes across this issue you have to go to the GNOME extensions page, uninstall the extension, and then reboot. Sorry for the trouble.

Please mark as solved.

Only you can do that, by editing your first post and prepending [solved] to the title.
