SUMMARY

Task Switcher, when set Filter windows by - Virtual Desktops from "Current Desktop" to "All other desktops", it won't show all windows from all desktops.

when i press alt + tab from Desktop 1, i only can see Desktop 2 windows, and if i am in Desktop 2 can't see Windows in Desktop 2, only from Desktop 1. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Go to System Settings > Windows Manager > Task Switcher > Filter Windows By > Virtual Desktops > Set to "All Other Desktops"
2.  Have multiple windows open in multiple desktops
3.  try to Tab Switch with any windows not matter the desktop.

OBSERVED RESULT
Can only swtich from windows of other desktop and not in the actual desktops.

I think you may be mis-reading the setting. It says "All other desktops," which means it will show the windows for all of the desktops that you're *not* currently in. There isn't a setting for "show all windows from all desktops."

I don't understand what it is the two of you are missing. Isn't this what you get if you just don't filter by desktop?

ok, so how can i access to all virtual desktop windows?, for example in mac, i can see all app in each desktop from the tab switchs.

By unchecking the checkbox to filter by virtual desktop.
