For example, to see which keys switch between multiple terminal windows.

I'm trying to use the keyboard more and the mouse less.

If I have multiple windows open I can use alt-tab to switch between them.

By default it starts to select the 'next' application window but I found that if I hold it down for 2 seconds it will stay on the terminal window and allow me to switch between terminal windows. This is what I'm looking for.

Is there a way to be able to switch between windows - either through the multi-pane approach above or by cycling through the windows - without using the above approach with the 2 second delay.

It would be great if there was a way to do something like ctrl-tab or shiftalttab

I am not looking for split-window or tab windows or tmux pane solutions. I already use these and this is a separate issue that I like to know if there is any options to address this need.

Keyboard manager settings shows the below but doesn't seem to help me.

Also keyboard shortcuts shows:

but alt-f6 doesn't work

Pressing the Super key or the Windows Key key only for 2-3 seconds brings up the "Keyboard Shortcuts" window that shows the system's keyboard shortcuts.

Combinations shown using Super key:

You can use Alt + Esc to switch between windows immediately. It's more ordered than the default method but doesn't show you a list of windows.

To show the keyboard shortcuts window, press (and hold) the super key (on my keyboard, this key had a Windows logo printed on it).
