Is there a way to have the instant "Bring-to-Front" feature under Ubuntu while "Alt+Tab" are being hold? Just as it is under you know which OS.

Can you explain what exactly do you want by instant "Bring-to-Front"? And Just as it is under you know which OS? – Radu Rădeanu Aug 24 '13 at 11:44
    
As it is under Windows 7: when "alt+tab" are hit, almost immediately the next app window is brought to the front (above all other open windows) without letting the "alt+tab" keys. – Xtigyro Aug 24 '13 at 11:49
    
This behavior is used in Ubuntu as well. So, you want to say that when you press Alt+Tab nothing is happen? – Radu Rădeanu Aug 24 '13 at 11:51
    
No, I mean without needing the keys to be let. – Xtigyro Aug 24 '13 at 11:51

You can enable Shift Switcher plugin from CompizConfig Settings Manager Install CompizConfig Settings Manager. The default key combination is Shift+Supe+S, but you can change this combination as you wish. It looks something like this:

Also, using CompizConfig Settings Manager you have many other options in this sense. Just test them and choose what you like.

Many thanks! However, is that mean there's no way to do sth like this without 3d party plugins? – Xtigyro Aug 24 '13 at 12:33
    
Thanks again! I was going to do that after your final comment anyway :) Thanks, Radu! – Xtigyro Aug 24 '13 at 12:48
