Using the keyboard shortcut to switch windows of the same application works fine in chrome and xfce4-terminal, however it does not work with vim-gtk.
How do you start the two gvim windows? "Switch between windows of the same application" means switching between windows which share the same client leader, basically different windows of the *same* application. If you have to open 2 gvim instances which share nothing, it's two different applications, so it won't switch between those.
(In reply to Olivier Fourdan from comment #1) > How do you start the two gvim windows? I have a panel on my desktop with "Launchers" for various applications. I can launch two chrome windows (from the panel) and successfully switch between them. I can launch multiple Thunar windows from the panel and successfully switch between them. > "Switch between windows of the same application" means switching between > windows which share the same client leader, basically different windows of > the *same* application. I'm not familiar with xfce/desktop gui terminology, I'm a bit confused as to what a client leader is... > If you have to open 2 gvim instances which share nothing, it's two different > applications, so it won't switch between those. For a UX perspective I see no difference between two windows of Chrome, two windows of xfce4-terminal, and two windows of vim-gtk. What exactly are these other applications sharing that vim-gtk does not?
Fixed in git for master and xfce-4.12 Search now includes app name.
Err, fixed...
