The windows are grouped by application and the previews of the applications with multiple windows are available as you click through. The previews show up after a short delay, but you can get them immediately by clicking the ↓ arrow key.
</p>
</note>
<note>
<p>
The applications running on other workspaces are displayed after a vertical separator. Including all applications in the <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq> makes switching between tasks a single step process and provides you with a full picture of what applications are running.
</p>
</note>
</item>
<item><p>
You can move between the preview windows with the → or ← arrow keys or with the mouse pointer.
</p></item>
<item><p>
You can also use the keys <key>w</key>, <key>a</key>, <key>s</key>, <key>d</key> (for ↑←↓→ respectively) instead of the arrow keys for one-handed operation.
</p></item>
<item><p>
Previews of applications with a single window are only available when the ↓ arrow is explicitly hit.
</p></item>
<item><p>
It is possible to switch to any window by moving to it with the mouse and clicking.
</p></item>
