Public bug reported:
The keyboard shortcut Alt-Shift-Tab does nothing unless Alt-Tab is
pressed first (and Alt is continued to be held down). It should be
possible to use the keyboard window switcher in reverse order without
having to go forward first. (Other desktops such as Windows, GNOME
Shell, etc. allow this.) This also affects the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Tab
shortcut (to show windows from all workspaces).
If this isn't fixed, I guess the help article will have to be a bit more
complex to explain that.
To quote from the Desktop help:
When you hold down the Alt key and then press Tab, a window switcher
appears. This shows a list of the windows you have open, with a preview.
You can continue pressing Tab as many times as you need to reach the
window you want.
To switch to the previous window, hold down the Alt key and press Shift-
Tab instead.
Only windows from the current workspace will be shown. To show windows
from all workspaces, hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys and press Tab or
Shift-Tab.
