ALT+TAB no longer groups windows under applications in Ubuntu 19.04

After installing Ubuntu 19.04, ALT+TAB no longer groups windows under the same application. Instead it cycles through all windows irrespective of which app it belongs to. In Ubuntu 18.10 it worked differently (and better in my opinion) such that ALT+TAB switched between apps, and ALT+| (key above TAB) switched between windows of the same app. How can I achieve this setup in 19.04?

NOTE: ALT+| still cycles through windows of the same app, but I cannot use ALT+TAB first to select the app from the shorter list of apps (compared to the list of windows), so then ALT+TAB loses much of its power if you have many windows open.

  Haven't checked it yet, but you most probably would be able to switch to the older behaviour in Settings > Devices > Keyboard > shortcuts.

According to the release notes for Ubuntu 19.04, Alt+Tab behaves differently than before:

alt-tab handling now switches windows by default. Switching applications by default can be done with super-tab

The image below illustrates what Alt+Tab does:

And Super+Tab switches between applications with each application's windows available below:

The following image shows the default "switch" options in Settings > Devices > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Navigation:

  @pomsky I added an image of the relevant part of the screen. I'll now see if I can change anything there from the built-in GUI (without resorting to gsettings or dconf-editor).

  @pomsky looks like I'm not the best person to check that out because I don't remember what Ubuntu 18.10 did in this regard. I'm mostly on Kubuntu where I have 1 Alt+Tab to list applications with Tab to move to the relevant application (keeping Alt pressed all the while) > then 2, with Alt still pressed using the "`" key to tab between windows of the same application. See askubuntu.com/questions/1134083/…

  What you described is also the behaviour in GNOME in older releases and what OP is trying to achieve I believe. In the settings window (as in your screenshot) can't you switch the combinations for 'Switch applications' and 'Switch windows'? Then it'll be same as what you described.

  That works. I first had to set an "intermediate" keybinding for Switch Applications otherwise, I'd have the same keybind for two separate shortcuts.
