Description Antek Grzymała (antoszka) 2006-07-04 09:04:27 UTC
After doing a basic, non-fancy, upgrade to stable xorg-x11-7.0-r1 from stable 6.8.2-r8 I lost the ability to switch windows properly in KDE with a custom shortcut: win-tab (and win-shift-tab for reverse switching).

The broken behaviour is that pressing win-tab immediately swaps between two last-seen windows alternately without displaying the window list.

I *do* have the "show window list when switching windows" checkbox present.

Changing the shortcut to the default alt-tab (alt-shift-tab) reverts this errorenous behaviour back to normal, so it's clearly a window-key problem.

I have many other shortcuts based on the window key (like maximize, minimize, switch desktop, bring up window requiring attention, firing up apps) and they *all* work correctly. Only the win-tab behaviour is broken.

I am using the following options in xorg.conf:\

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "CoreKeyboard"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        #Option     "XkbOptions" "grp:toggle,grp_led:scroll"
        Option      "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "pl"
EndSection

I have also tried with the ",winkeys" option commented out, same effect.
