Bug ID: 433813
Summary: Ctrl-Tab behavior in Firefox and VS Code inconsistent
with the behavior on other platforms
Product: kwin
Version: 5.21.1
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-window-management
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Ctrl-Tab shortcut allow to access previous tabs in apps like VS Code and
Firefox.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch VS Code or Firefox with several open tabs
2. Simply use Ctrl-Tab to switch between tabs
OBSERVED RESULT
This is how tab switching works in Plasma. Pressing Ctrl-Tab brings up the tab
switching window, however when releasing Ctrl button it does not switch to the
previous tab and the tab switcher window is still on. I can navigate the tab
thumbnails and then select Enter to select the desired tab. This behavior is
unintuitive, is not consistent with how Firefox works on Windows (or Gnome) and
also not consistent with the conventional Alt-Tab window switching in most of
the desktop environments.
EXPECTED RESULT
This is how it works on Windows and how it should work. Pressing Ctrl-Tab
brings up the tab switching window. While holding Ctrl one uses Tab or arrow
buttons to navigate to the desired browser tab. Releasing Ctrl then performs
the switching to the tab.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.21
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm not sure whether kwin is the right category for the bug report so feel free
to move it elsewhere.
