SUMMARY Setting a task switcher shortcut involving "Shift+Tab" (usually used for moving reverse order) doesn't allow repeated reverse movement. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to Settings -> Task Switcher 2. Set an "Reverse" by holding e.g. Meta + Shift + Tab keys. 3. Now hold "Meta+Shift" and hit "Tab" once to go reverse one window 4. While still holding "Meta+Shift" hit Tab another time to reverse to another window OBSERVED RESULT Only the first "Tab" is recognized going back one window. All "Tab" hits after that show no effect. EXPECTED RESULT Holding "Meta+Shift" and hitting "Tab" repeatedly should traverse through multiple windows in reverse order. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.12.12-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz Memory: 23,4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Radeon RX 5500 XT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Setting the shortcut writes a "Meta+Shift+Tab" into `~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc`, which as laid out above doesn't work. Changing it manually to "Meta+Shift+Backtab" does work. So it seems that writing "Tab" instead of "Backtap" into kglobalshortcutsrc is part of the problem. This behavior is also shown when setting a shortcut via "Global Shortcuts".

Can reproduce (on wayland, the report for 478526 was also on wayland). Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to settings -> shortcuts -> kwin 2. Find walk through windows reverse 3. assign Alt+Shift+Tab as shortcut Observed behavior: Alt+Shift+Tab does not work. So if you manually edit .config/kglobalshortcutsrc and change Tab to Backtab, then it works again.

Git commit b6d864b793eb237c22e8ef659beabfe01d889134 by Yifan Zhu. Committed on 18/12/2023 at 22:22. Pushed by fanzhuyifan into branch 'tab'. tabbox: match Shift+Backtab against Shift+Tab When users simultaneously press Shift and Tab, the keys are sometimes registered as Shift+Tab, and sometimes as Shift+Backtab. So we need to match received Shift+Tab against shortcuts containing Shift+Backtab, and vice versa. Previously the code only checks for the first case. This commit adds checks for the second case.
