Bug ID: 479807
Summary: Conflict between Task Switcher's reverse navigation
and Alt+Shift keyboard layout switching shortcut in
KDE Plasma.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: git-stable-Plasma/5.27
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ilia.karpov...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
**SUMMARY**
Conflict between Task Switcher's reverse navigation and Alt+Shift keyboard
layout switching shortcut in KDE Plasma.
**STEPS TO REPRODUCE**
1. Go to `System Settings > Keyboard > Layouts` and set the main shortcut for
switching to another layout to `[x] Alt + Shift`.
2. Initiate the Task Switcher by pressing Alt+Tab and continue holding down Alt
to keep the Task Switcher active.
3. While holding down Alt, attempt to reverse navigate through tasks using
Shift+Tab.
**OBSERVED RESULT**
The Task Switcher does not respond to the Shift+Tab input for reverse
navigation when Alt+Shift is configured as the shortcut for keyboard layout
switching.
**EXPECTED RESULT**
The Task Switcher should allow reverse task navigation using Shift+Tab while
Alt is held down, even when Alt+Shift is used as a keyboard layout switching
shortcut.
**SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS**
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11
**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION**
This issue seems to indicate a potential conflict in keyboard shortcuts
handling, specifically when Alt+Shift is used for both task switching and
keyboard layout changes in KDE Plasma.
