The Alt+’ combination, to switch between windows of a single application, seems to be gone. It is impractical on non-English keyboards any way. Keeping Alt+TAB pressed also achieves nothing as there’s only a single terminal symbol, no matter how many windows it has. Trying to launch another terminal will do nothing. Also, I cannot find any item related to window switching in the keyboard short-cut customization settings. One’s left with a hell of a lot of tossing around the mouse. Please tell me that I’m wrong!
What keyboard layout are you using?
I am pretty sure that it’s already alt+
<the key above tab>
no matter what layout you are using.
Pressing alt+tab with only one application running multiple instances will show exactly one icon in the switcher (plus a small symbol below the icon). If you keep alt pressed, you should be able to use the cursor down key to show the instances, and then use cursor left/right while still keeping alt pressed to select the instance.

Ah! Yes. Thanks! That does the trick, using all directions. I wouldn’t call this a “short”-cut though. Actually it’s breaking the flow as I use to switch quite a lot. Would be rather practical if one could rewind to old-school switching between all windows, no matter what app.
This is a super old Thread, I am moving you to a new one.
Go to settings > keyboard shortcuts.
There should be something like
„Switch windows“
As opposed to
„Switch applications“

I was searching in the “windows” section instead of “navigation”. Sorry for that.
