SUMMARY When CapsLock is on, pressing Alt+Tab will switch backwards instead of forwards. I would argue that the user does not expect this behavior; CapsLock generally only has an effect on typed letters. If the user wants to switch backward, he should choose to do so by pressing Shift. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Turn on CapsLock 2. Press Alt+Tab OBSERVED RESULT The window switcher moves backwards. EXPECTED RESULT The window switcher moves forwards.

Cannot reproduce on KDE 5.27, Qt 5.15.3, Kubuntu 22.04 LTS. The window switcher moves as expected whether Caps Lock is on or off.
I mean KDE 5.27.6 in the above comment, sorry
