I had the problem after clean install and I have it also when I was using "windows behavior / tasks switcher" to change to other combination and back to Alt+Shift+Tab. My findings are: * at least one more user experiences the same problem * Alt+Shift+Tab combination works if I assign it to some other action for example "Run Command") * other combination assigned to "Walk Through Windows (Reverse)" works for me, for example Ctrl+Alt+Tab * Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Tab doesn't work either * in opinion there is weird record in kglobalshortcutsrc (search for Alt+Shift+Backtab): Walk Through Windows (Reverse)=Alt+Shift+Tab,Alt+Shift+Backtab,Walk Through Windows (Reverse) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open multiple applications 2. press Alt+Shift+Tab 3. press Alt+Shift+Tab Actual Results: windows switcher will be shown and it will not move in the list Expected Results: it should move in the list of application in reverse order 1317845 1 mcorteel 2012-11-23 16:53:19 +0000 I experience the same behavior with 4.9.3. 1317846 2 thomas.luebking 2012-11-23 17:01:13 +0000 This is bug #153211, 274006, 174142 and several dupes. Actually only the (default configured) Alt+Shift+Backtab works here, so get rid of Alt+Shift+Tab What keyboard layout do you use? 1317849 3 mcorteel 2012-11-23 17:12:15 +0000 My keyboard layout is fr, but I get the same behavior with us... 1317862 4 martin.minka 2012-11-23 17:59:06 +0000 I manually edited file ~/.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc: Walk Through Windows (Reverse)=Alt+Shift+Backtab,Alt+Shift+Backtab,Walk Through Windows (Reverse) After reboot Alt+Shift+Tab works. My layout is "us" and it is Logitech K520. 1317887 5 thomas.luebking 2012-11-23 20:39:46 +0000 It's because of the modal state of the tabbox. KWin grabs input and handles shortcuts itself after the shortcut is initially invoked. Since the original bug was not resolved by ensuring to read the right shortcut, but kglobalaccel to fire the shortcut for the wrong event you're still not triggering the "correct" (configured) shortcut (since you wanted to configure alt+shift+backtab in the first place) and kwin does not react on that one. -> Therefore the tabbox implementation will have to copy the globalaccel (and by comment also Qt) hack on this (while i can not say i'm particularily happy with such solution) @Martin: objections? 1317888 6 thomas.luebking 2012-11-23 20:40:22 +0000 mehhh - fixing component, since this is really a (compatibility) bug in the tabbox implementation. 1317891 7 thomas.luebking 2012-11-23 21:09:16 +0000 https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/107441/ 1317909 8 mgraesslin 2012-11-23 22:15:45 +0000 > @Martin: objections? it sucks, but no objections. Looking forward to the day where we (at least partially) handle global shortcut ourselves thanks to Wayland. 1323837 9 thomas.luebking 2012-12-14 22:17:29 +0000 Git commit 7cd45390e8f11ec2be6b1733db2a0edf0b592367 by Thomas Lübking.
