Description Huynh Huu Long 2012-03-27 13:19:34 UTC

There is no way to assign for example the shortcut [Meta]+[Shift]+[Backtab] to the (KWin) action "Walk through windows (reverse)". This is because there is no obvious way to enter [Backtab] other than to export the shortcuts, manually edit them and to reimport.

Hi,

this works with plasma-framework 5.28.0 for me. Since this is a very old bug, I suggest closing it, if nobody has any objections.

I can reproduce this with current Plasma from git.

My keymap is br-abnt2, so XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=br.
Xev recognizes my tab key as "keysym 0xff09, Tab".
The KWin debug console opened by typing KWin on KRunner reports Qt::Key code: Key_Tab, Xkb Symbol 65289.
