            Bug ID: 365808
           Summary: Support for Alt-Tab-like shortcuts
           Product: frameworks-kglobalaccel
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: mgraess...@kde.org
          Reporter: ivan.cu...@kde.org

There is the need for applications outside KWin to use shortcuts that allow
opening some king of browser and allot traversing through that browser by not
releasing the modifier keys, and re-pressing the non-modifier key.

Examples for this include:
- Alt+Tab - Press Alt-Tab, the 'window browser' appears, pressing the Tab
changes the selected window, depressing Alt switches to thiat window and closes
the browser (this one is in KWin)
- Meta-Tab - Press Meta-Tab, the 'activity switcher' appears, pressing the Tab
changes the selected activity, depressing the Meta key closes the switcher and
switches to selected activity.

Until now, this was done by applications being benign key-listeners in X11, but
this is no longer available in wayland. So, another solution needs to be found.
