How to ungroup windows on Unity task switcher?
I'm playing with ubuntu 12.04, precise pangolin, and there's an issue I can't see how to solve.
If I have three instances of, let's say, Firefox, in the switcher appears a single Firefox icon, I have to wait something like a second for it to open so that I can finally choose the one I'm looking for
I tried with compiz-settings and the unity plugin but couldn't find an option to ungroup Windows.

if you want to work between two open firefox, for example, it's kind of annoying, can't it be configured?

your other question is another way of asking this one, if you're working with multiple desktops(like I am) and you have multiple windows for an application open(like I do) then alt-tab immediately opens the most recently focused window for a given application. it's starting to sound like complaining

You can also press alt + ` (the key above Tab) to switch between instances of the current application.

yes, this works but it doesn't ungroup. an ungrouped switcher recognises that just because a file is in the same application doesn't mean that it relates to the same task eg task 1 = (PDF1, Writer doc 1), task 2 = (PDF2, gedit, Writer doc 2). The application grouping just gets in the way of this.

You can also just Alt-Tab to the one with multiple and wait for 3 seconds and it will ungroup them and then you can Alt-Tab through them. Neither of these are ideal solutions, though.

To get all windows expanded from the beginning in a single list while switching with ALT-TAB I've gone to CompizConfig -> Windows Management -> Static Application Switcher (enabled this): Dialog popped up, I selected to solve the conflicts, in any of the question pop ups I've hit the most rightest button to deactivate the conflicting button. Thats all.
(To get back to Unity behaviour, goto CompizConfig -> Desktop -> Unity Plugin -> Switcher (tab) -> reset all settings with the x buttons at the right)
EDIT: You have to have the compiz-plugins package installed in order to access the Static Application Switcher plugin.

The static switcher looks crappy, but this works. Also, C4L's answer is clearer.

This question is a bit old, but Unity has still the same problem. The solution is hidden in the Compiz Plugins:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins
Start ccsm (the Compiz Config Settings Manager) and find
- Desktop ► Ubuntu Unity Plugin ► Switcher (tab)
Disable the key combinations for next and previous windows Alt+Tab and Shift+Alt+Tab, by editing the key and deleting its contents.
Next, pick a different application switcher. Best for the purpose seems to be the "Static Application Switcher". You can find it by going back and performing a search (with the Filter).
Enable its key combinations for next and previous windows by clicking on Disabled. Then you will be asked and you can input Alt+Tab and Shift+Alt+Tab.
Close sscm and now you have one icon for each open window in the application switcher, no annoying grouping anymore.

This is the better answer, as it says that next/prev windows have different combos and therefore need to be changed.

This is the best solution for a permanent, single key combo solution, which may or may not be what the OP wanted. Note that if you do decide to go back to the default method of application switching, simply disable the "Switch Windows" key combo, then the "Switch Application" key combo will be reactivated.

As of Ubuntu 16, you can also press Start + W, which will bring this: 
It's faster than alt+tab task switcher and doesn't group windows.

Just hover during alt-tab. It will expand the group windows with previews of each window.
I was informed for one of my questions that "feature requests" are "wishlist bugs". This is how I responded.

I found a simple and beautiful solution that works on Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark). Follow this tutorial and alt-tab will switch between all windows (no app grouping). It also changes the visual appearance of the switcher. Now all you open windows will display in a 3d carousel.
The tutorial basically makes you install the GNOME Shell Extension on your browser and from there an you can install apps that will manage alt-tabbing. The one I choose is: coverflow-alt-tab

Summary: install this package and a plugin for chrome, firefox or opera. Go here to turn on the alt-tab extension. If you want to configure it, GNOME Tweaks

That works but it's pretty cumbersome. I've never had this annoying task switching problem in Windows.

To get all windows expanded from the beginning in a single list while switching with ALT-TAB I've gone to CompizConfig -> Windows Management -> Static Application Switcher (enabled this): Dialog popped up, I selected to solve the conflicts, in any of the question pop ups I've hit the most rightest button to deactivate the conflicting button. Thats all.
(To get back to Unity behaviour, goto CompizConfig -> Desktop -> Unity Plugin -> Switcher (tab) -> reset all settings with the x buttons at the right)
EDIT: You have to have the compiz-plugins package installed in order to access the Static Application Switcher plugin.

This question is a bit old, but Unity has still the same problem. The solution is hidden in the Compiz Plugins:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins
Start ccsm (the Compiz Config Settings Manager) and find
- Desktop ► Ubuntu Unity Plugin ► Switcher (tab)
Disable the key combinations for next and previous windows Alt+Tab and Shift+Alt+Tab, by editing the key and deleting its contents.
Next, pick a different application switcher. Best for the purpose seems to be the "Static Application Switcher". You can find it by going back and performing a search (with the Filter).
Enable its key combinations for next and previous windows by clicking on Disabled. Then you will be asked and you can input Alt+Tab and Shift+Alt+Tab.
Close sscm and now you have one icon for each open window in the application switcher, no annoying grouping anymore.

This is the better answer, as it says that next/prev windows have different combos and therefore need to be changed.

This is the best solution for a permanent, single key combo solution, which may or may not be what the OP wanted. Note that if you do decide to go back to the default method of application switching, simply disable the "Switch Windows" key combo, then the "Switch Application" key combo will be reactivated.

As of Ubuntu 16, you can also press Start + W, which will bring this:
It's faster than alt+tab task switcher and doesn't group windows.

Just hover during alt-tab. It will expand the group windows with previews of each window.
I was informed for one of my questions that "feature requests" are "wishlist bugs". This is how I responded.

I found a simple and beautiful solution that works on Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark). Follow this tutorial and alt-tab will switch between all windows (no app grouping). It also changes the visual appearance of the switcher. Now all you open windows will display in a 3d carousel.
The tutorial basically makes you install the GNOME Shell Extension on your browser and from there an you can install apps that will manage alt-tabbing. The one I choose is: coverflow-alt-tab

Summary: install this package and a plugin for chrome, firefox or opera. Go here to turn on the alt-tab extension. If you want to configure it, GNOME Tweaks

not a problem, i just don't think it's going to happen. it's a feature not a bug

if you want to work between two open firefox, for example, it's kind of annoying, can't it be configured?

your other question is another way of asking this one, if you're working with multiple desktops(like I am) and you have multiple windows for an application open(like I do) then alt-tab immediately opens the most recently focused window for a given application. it's starting to sound like complaining

See also How to get previous behaviour of alt-tab task switcher in 11.10 - seems like this is a a dup.
