The CONFUSION settings manager rather fixed it. Thanks.

@Marco and comment #17

First of all, you're basing on GNOME but breaking the functionality of it with a random decisions to have a hybrid approach. What on earth for? If you don't like Alt-` to switch between windows, then remove it completely in favor of only Alt-Tab. Because if you DO support Alt-` then support it properly and make a distinction from Alt-Tab, otherwise what's the purpose of it?

Second, the behavior your describe broke the EXPECTED functionality of Alt-Tab switching BACK. For example:

1. Open App 1 Window 1
2. Alt-` to App 1 Window 2
3. Alt-Tab (a few times) to (reach) App 2 (window 1)
4. Now Alt-TAB is expected to switch you back to App 1 Window 2, which was the PREVIOUS active window, but what it does is it switches to App 1 Window 1 which is the part that is unexpected, wrong and definitely a bug, still going strong in 16.04.
