Is there any way to make the Alt-Tab window changer pop up quicker in Gnome-Shell?

I like the behavior of Gnome-Shell's Alt-Tab window changer, but there is a slight delay when pressing Alt + Tab, which bothers me. Is there any way to make it pop up immediately, or at least, decrease the delay?

    Well, you can change that in the .js file of the alt-tab.

    In

    /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/altTab.js

    Almost at the beginning of the file, is this line

    const POPUP_DELAY_TIMEOUT = 150; // milliseconds

    Change it, save and restart the gnome-shell (Alt+F2 type 'r', or logout and login again).

  2. Since gnome 3.12, the Javascript UI files are embedded inside libgnome-shell.so. See this post.

  3. As of 13.10, this setting is now located in /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/switcherPopup.js.
