Public bug reported:

There's a GUI convention for navigation: adding the Shift modifier to a
hotkey is typically interpreted as 'do the same thing as the hotkey,
except in the other direction'. Control+Tab+Shift may visit the previous
Web browser tab. Control+Z+Shift may redo the last edit, and so on.

Ubuntu offers Alt+Tab for switching between windows, and Alt+Tilde for
switching between windows of the same application. Ubuntu also offers
Alt+Shift+Tab for switching between windows in reverse order.

However, Ubuntu, or some odd dependency, neglected to make a
corresponding Alt+Shift+Tilde hotkey for switching between windows of
the same application in reverse order.

Please add this missing hotkey.
