Hopefully gnome-control-center is the right place for bugs with the
GNOME keyboard settings.
** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: metacity => gnome-control-center
Status: Incomplete => New
** Summary changed:
- alt shift tab doesn't work
+ can't use Alt-Shift-Tab to cycle windows backwards if Alt-Shift switches
keyboard layout
** Description changed:
- Recently, Alt-Shift-Tab stopped working. It used to cycle between
- windows in reverse order, but now it does nothing.
+ If Alt-Shift is used to switch between keyboard layouts
+ (System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts->Other Options...->Layout
+ Switching, Alt+Shift change layout.), no other shortcuts including Alt-
+ Shift can be used, such as Alt-Shift-Tab to cycle between windows
+ backwards.
- This is in Metacity (GNOME with visual effects disabled).
+ Try Alt-Shift-Tab without the above setting enabled and then with it
+ enabled. You'll want at least three windows open to make the effect
+ obvious.
- Similar to this
- (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/150702), but
- that's for Compiz.
+ Try running xev when you press Alt-Shift-Tab, you'll see it sends the
+ ISO_Prev_Group keysym before the Tab key can even be pressed, rather
+ than Alt_L, Shift_L, Tab.
- Maybe the fix for that even broke this?
-
- Can't remember when it was working.
-
- Registry:
- /apps/metacity/global_keybindings has:
- switch_windows = <Alt>Tab
- switch_windows_backward = <Shift><Alt>Tab
-
- Keyboard Shortcuts:
- Move between windows with popup = Alt+Tab
- (no obvious configuration item for move between windows backward)
+ In Windows, Alt-Shift-Tab still switches windows backwards with a
+ similar setting enabled.
