How to configure ubuntu budgie for graphical alt-tab with external program 'skippy-xd'

How to configure Ubuntu Budgie for Alt-Tab with Skippy-XD

This guide assumes that you have already compiled and installed skippy-xd from here. You will probably need to compile it from source, then sudo make install. Because there is no PPA / .deb package made for it yet.

  • Check that you have the right version of skippy, by typing on the cmdline:
skippy-xd --help | grep -i 'puzzlebox'
