Hi, on GTK2, when I alt+tab from another app, I would like to bring to front all Lazarus windows, instead I hav to alt+tab several times until each window (editor, menu, Object Inspector, etc.) comes to front.

Is it possible to "link" all lazarus windows in a way that when alt+tab they work as one app, instead of separated windows?.

Regards,

On IDE Options, try to enable 'Show single button in TaskBar'. Maybe could help...

I can confirm that. Kubuntu 14.04 and 12.04, using GTK2+ widgetset.

Yes, the docking frameworks, although they have other issues.

If you alt+tab to the Lazarus main (top) window, the other windows get selected, too.
If that is not good then start clicking the taskbar buttons instead of alt+tab from keyboard.

Hi,
?
when you are on Linux, why not have Lazarus on different virtual desktop than other apps (since there are more multi-windowed apps (like GIMP), it makes life easier). I use KDE4 and I switch by Ctrl+F1, Ctrl+F2 ... instead of Alt+Tab. KDE4 is probably the most configurable in this regard but Gnome or Mate should know it too. ?

While I was using ubuntu, I had one virtual desktop + shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+Arrow) to change desktop. Now, I'm using combination of anchordocking and virtual desktop for maximal "performance". There is also way to use hotcorners AFAIK in Unity and Cinnamon enviroments.
