Bug ID: 475984
Summary: Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab and Alt-` and Alt-Shift-`
set to None - - - cannot change and make changes
persist
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.8
Platform: Fedora RPMs

Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. upgrade Fedora Rawhide (40) to latest (as of 20 October 2023) with $ sudo
dnf upgrade #will run dnf-3
2. try Task Switcher with keystroke Shortcut (default Alt-Tab for Forward and
Alt-Shift-Tab for Backward)
3. look in System Settings > Window Management > Task Switcher
OBSERVED RESULT
4. observe under Shortcuts / All windows that Forward and Backward are both
set to None
5. observe under Shortcuts / Current Application that Forward and Backward are
both now also set to None
EXPECTED RESULT
1. Task Switcher has always (prior to fedora rawhide's drop of updated
packages on 20 October 2023) had Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab as Forward and
Backward keystroke / keybinding for Task Switcher.
2. Task Switcher has always (prior to this same fedora rawhide's updates for
packages [see date above]) had Alt-` for Forward through windows of the current
application and Alt-Shift-` for Backward through windows of the current
application.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Rawhide (40) with K Desktop Environment (KDE); linux
kernel 6.6.0-0.rc6.47.fc40.x86_64
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried setting these manually back to what were prior to 20 October 2023 the
default Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab, but the changes do not persist. I clicked
Apply, of course, closed the window, restarted the machine, and the changes I
made are gone. The Shortcuts are back to None for Forward and Backward on both
All windows and Current application categories. I also changed them to
Meta-Tab, restarted the machine, and the changes also did not persist. They
always revert back to None. I then clicked Revert and Defaults, but neither of
those buttons does anything to bring back Alt-Tab or Alt-Shift-Tab for
shortcuts to the Task Switcher.
This feature I would think is used often and by many. I use this keystroke all
the time, and without it, I am lost and confused by the absence of it in this
"incantation" of KDE plasma, KDE frameworks, and Qt.
