===== Cycling =====

You can switch between application windows and dialogs that are running, these items also appear in the window tasklist, with the {key>Alt+Tab} keyboard shortcut. When holding down the {key>Alt} key and pressing {key>Tab} or {key>Shift+Tab}, a task switcher overlay will appear on the screen with the list of running applications. To switch to the next window or dialog in the list, you continue to hold down the {key>Alt} key and pressing {key>Tab} or {key>Shift+Tab} repeatedly to either go left/down or right/up.

  * **Cycle through windows on all workspaces**: Show windows in the cycle overlay that are on all virtual desktops
  * **Draw frame around selected window while cycling**: Draws the outline of the window when selected in the cycle overlay
  * **Raise windows while cycling**: Brings windows to the foreground when selected in the cycle overlay
