Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages When the application list is quite long, and you are 'browsing' the opened window using 'alt-tab', you may overlook the application, and then you should iterate all other applications all over again. In Microsoft Windows, you can press the Shift key, so that now pressing Tab iterates application in reverse order. This feature is very useful and it is most annoying for Windows users that are used to this key binding.
You probably should try it so that you would see this has existed in KDE since ages.
I've tried this :-) It doesn't work in my system. I was indeed surprised that it doesn't work - I though it is a trivial key-binding... Maybe this happens on my system because I'm using an Hebrew keyboard. I'll look for that. Meanwhile let it be WORKSFORME.
Try if it works with English keyboard. Provide 'xmodmap' output for both of them. I also suggest upgrading to 3.5.7 once it's released, as there was a related change.
Doesn't work with the following configuration: KDE version: 3.5.7 $ xmodmap xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) I'll further investigate and try other configurations in order to isolate the problem. > Try if it works with English keyboard. How can I switch to other keyboards? I have bi-language PC-104 keyboard (Eng+Heb) and using it mainly for English.
I meant English layout, not physical device. Switch to Hebrew layout and do as asked, then switch to English layout and do as asked again.
Shift+Alt+Tab doesn't work in both English and Hebrew layouts.
I can confirm; doesn't work in KDE4
@Thomas: This bug is about KDE 3.
