Cannot reproduce; works for me. Unfortunately this is still affecting me in Plasma 5.25.1 This is still a problem for me in the 5.26 Beta. Is there anything I can submit or any further debugging I can do to try and help fix this issue? The issue is with recognizing Alt+Shift+Tab vs. Alt+BackTab. I am surprised that people report this bug as a recent one. Actually, I have this problem since at least KDE 5.x if not since KDE 4.x. So, at least since KDE 5 was out, I face this problem it in my laptop and my desktop. And also, I have changed 2 laptops and, 3 desktop motherboards and 4 different keyboards in the mean time. I have used different distros all that time (from Fedora 20 to F36) and opensuse, openSuse Leap and Tumbleweed. I manually changed the definitions in the ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc and still it's not working. Actually, the settings are overwritten after a reboot to the following: Walk Through Window Tabs=none,none,Walk Through Window Tabs Walk Through Window Tabs (Reverse)=none,none,Walk Through Window Tabs (Reverse) Walk Through Windows=Alt+Tab,Alt+Tab,Walk Through Windows Walk Through Windows (Reverse)=Alt+Shift+Tab,Alt+Shift+Backtab,Walk Through Windows (Reverse) I can understand that Nate cannot reproduce it, howerver, we do see it. And it affects our productivity enormously. However, I need to have this solved, so I will post some information that maybe help others to re-create it and maybe find a solution. 1. I use EN/US with int support as my primary imput 2. EL/GR is my secondary input 3. I use L-Alt + L-Shift to switch input layouts I hope it helps a bit. This is still an issue in 5.26.4. I face this problem in Fedora 36 one a Lenovo laptop (the 3rd I use and I have this problem) and on my openSUSE Tumbleweed (plasma 5.26.5) with an MS Natural keyboard. As a note: I experience this issue since KDE 4. I would definitely like to help because it affects my productivity enormously. If one dev from the KWin team wants to send me some instructions/requests for information etc, I would be very happy to help. Created attachment 155869 [details]
hasezoey's Task Switcher Config
I think i also have the same problem, "Walk Through Windows (Reverse)" with the "Alt+Shift+Tab" does not work and only opens the preview window, but no further pressing "Tab" works, rebinding it to a different keybinding switches through the windows but does not show the preview.
Also when pressing "Alt+Tab" to open the normal switcher preview window, adding modifier "Shift" while the switcher is still active and then pressing "Tab" does nothing (not going forward or backward)
i think this worked before in some 5.x version for me

This happens to me since I switched from X11 to wayland. A single Alt+Shift+Tab works, it goes one tab backwards and reveals the tab switcher as long as Alt is down. However, when I repeatedly hit Tab while Alt+Shift is down, it has no effect. Going forward works, with repeated Alt+Tab, while holding Alt down. The same happens for Meta+Shift+Tab. I can reassign to Alt+^ which on my keyboard layout is right above Tab. But I would prefer not having to learn another shortcut.. > This happens to me since I switched from X11 to wayland.
I should add, I can switch back to X11 and have the problem disappear.
But I would like to use wayland :)
> I can reassign to Alt+^ which on my keyboard layout is right above Tab.
I should add:
If I add both Alt+^ and Alt+Shift-Tab, then even Alt+^ has the same problem as Alt+Shift+Tab.
If I only assign Alt+^, it works fine.
I'm having the same issue. It works on X11, but not on wayland.

Can one of the developers confirm this and close this bug? (Also I would like to understand if this will be fixed in KDE 5 or we will have to wait for KDE 6) It seems so. I'll mark it as a dupe and we can see when we're all on qt6 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 453661 *** |
