Still in 4.6

Comment 2 Piotr Budny 2011-03-02 21:14:09 UTC

It seems, that kglobalshortcuts systemsettings module can't set "Meta+Shift+Backtab" for "Switch to Previous Desktop=Meta+Shift+Backtab,none,Przełącz na poprzedni pulpit"

First of all, it sets "Tab", not "Backtab", secondly, it assigns shortcut to previous activity, not previous desktop.

Git commit 6026c3a32056bdbae6964e25abf712870edf5aac by Simon Persson.

Make global shortcuts involving shift+tab work

When entering (ctrl,alt,meta)+shift+tab as a new shortcut
KKeySequenceWidget gets "backtab" as the key pressed but records "tab".
kglobalaccel gets the keypress event as "backtab" which is correct but
only triggers shortcuts with "backtab" in them and such shortcuts are
not possible for the user to enter.

This commit makes kglobalaccel look for both tab and backtab when
triggered, same as Qt does. By triggering on both it also avoids
breaking peoples alt+shift+tab on upgrade.
