Sorry for spamming but I honestly didn't think I'd get this "resolved" so
quickly.

The problem is the configuration.
The setting inside the task switcher panel updates only the shortcut key to
invoke it, but the shortcut key that traverses it is a different key, and that
is in global shortcuts.

However, you cannot bind anything to TAB in the global shortcuts window because
hitting TAB will go to the next part of the window rather than registering the
keystroke. I might create a bug report on that, too, if I can't find one.

However-however, you can circumvent all this mess by going into
$HOME/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc

There you will find Walk Through Windows" and you will notice that its keybind
is not what you have set in the configuration window. If you update it in here,
e.g. by changing Alt to Meta for a Mac like experience, and then reboot, it'll
work correctly.

This bug is in the configuration panel.
