Bug ID: 478983
Summary: [System Settings / Global Shortcut] Cannot record
Backtab in Task Switcher settings
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: unblended_icing552 at simplelogin.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The shortcut `Alt + Shift + Tab` requires setting to `Alt + Shift + Backtab`.
However, you can never register a Backtab in System Settings. So Shift + tab
doesn't work properly in Task Switcher.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. System Settings -> Window Management -> Task Switcher
2. Reassign the Reverse shortcut by pressing Alt + Shift + Tab
4. Now hold down Alt and Shift, then press Tab twice
OBSERVED RESULT
The shortcut is assigned with `Alt + Shift + Tab`
First Tab press successfully opens the Task Switcher, the second one doesn't
move selection backward.
EXPECTED RESULT
The shortcut should be assigned with `Alt + Shift + Backtab`, or KDE should
understand that `Shift + Backtab` and `Shift + Tab` are the same thing from
user perspective.
The reverse shortcut should work in Task Switcher.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11
Wayland session
Fedora 39
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Manual workaround:
1. Open ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc with a text editor
2. Find the faulty shortcut by searching for `Shift+Tab`
3. Replace `Shift+Tab` with `Shift+Backtab`, save the file
4. Logout and re-login
