Bug ID: 454668
Summary: Alt+Shift+Tab doesn't reverse task switcher
Product: frameworks-kglobalaccel
Version: 5.94.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Reporter: indecisiveautoma...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Alt+Shift+Tab doesn't cycle through opened applications in reverse order for me
on my desktop, though it works fine on my laptop. The shortcut is set correctly
in the Task Switcher menu but does not work when set to Alt+Shift+Tab. I was
able to bind it to Alt+Shift+A and it seems to work fine, but going back to
Alt+Shift+Tab didn't work.
When pressing Alt+Shift+Tab, the task switcher will open as if it has been
pressed normally without holding Shift. It will skip forward one window and
show the task switcher box, listing the next window as selected. However
pressing Tab again won't switch windows. Nothing will happen until you let go
of Shift. Interestingly, you can still use the arrow keys to select windows
while holding Alt+Shift+Tab, but the tab key itself doesn't work.
Originally I tried to bind the shortcut to Shift+Tab, but I couldn't do that. I
also found out while trying this that I can't set any shortcut to just
Shift+another key, the button in the Task Switcher settings just shows
"Shift+..." and doesn't register any other inputs.
I'm not sure when this bug started occurring but it has been a while, at least
since Plasma 5.23 Beta, but I had forgotten about it. This behaviour is only
present on my desktop and not my laptop, both running the same OS.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a few applications
2. Press Alt+Tab
3. Task Switcher works fine
4. Press Alt+Shift+Tab
5. Task Switcher opens and acts as if you just pressed Alt+Tab, skipping
forward a window
6. While holding Alt+Shift+Tab, pressing the Tab key doesn't do anything. It
won't cycle through windows until you let go of the Shift key
OBSERVED RESULT
Alt+Shift+Tab does not cycle through windows in reverse order
EXPECTED RESULT
Alt+Shift+Tab should cycle through windows in reverse order
