With
TDE: R14.0.4
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
ALT-TAB brings up the task switcher and continuing to hold down ALT while
tapping TAB moves the selection down the list.
SHIFT-ALT-TAB moves the selection up the list.
With
TDE: R14.0.5
MX-18
ALT-TAB works.
SHIFT-ALT-TAB doesn’t, it moves the selection down the list instead of up.
Anyone else having issues with SHIFT-ALT-TAB on R14.0.5?
Best,
Michael

I've had that issue ever since I switched to MX (and Antix on one machine).
I attribute it to MX/Antix because that's when it started. Haven't got
around to tracking down the solution, but I'd like to find it.

AntiX has a lot to recommend it: small, clean, fast, systemd-free ... However,
it did a few things I didn't like, too. I noticed that it changed permissions
in my home folder. I've never had a distro do *that* before.
Not saying that it has to do with permissions (which seems unlikely), but I
would guess that you need to go into
Trinity Control Center / Regional & Accessibility / Keyboard Shortcuts
and check your settings there. I had something similar happen when I changed
from Kubuntu to Debian; not quite what you described, but my keyboard
shortcuts had been changed. After a little futzing round, I got everything to
work the same as before.
I'm just guessing that the MX/AntiX system may be doing something like that
for new installations.

It correctly shows Alt-Shift-Tab; it just doesn't work.
If I try to manually set the shortcut, as soon as I press Alt, then Shift,
"Alt+ISO_Next_Group" appears and immediately gets set as the shortcut. If I
press Shift first, then Alt, "Shift+Shift_L" appears and is immediately set
as the shortcut. There's no opportunity to press Tab.
Something strange is going on here with key mapping, but I'm not going to be
able to figure it out tonight.

Somewhere, I believe, there is a config file with all your settings. If I have
time and inclination, I will search for it in my own system.

No need; I normally just use 'TDE Default for 3 Modifier Keys'.
P.S. Use multi-key mode. It's in the dialog.
Makes no difference; the ISO_Next_Group key binding is still there.
Today I confirmed that the problem exists in XFCE also, and when logged in
as root. And XFCE has the keyboard shortcut set correctly, same as TDE. So
apparently my suspicion is correct that it's an MX/Antix problem, not a TDE
problem.

Very cool, it works!
Except that, in Antix at least, 'xkbmap' needs to be 'setxkbmap'.
Thanks very much to both of you.

You might also have some kind of duplication of that shortcut.

Okay, so not a TDE thing! Good to know. The MX is currently a complete clean
install as I haven't migrated anything over to it yet (just fyi). I'll make
backups and futz with the schemes and also search/ask on the MX forum. Ah,
yeah, dumb me, I'll check the "XFCE desktop" MX installs by default too,
which I should have done before posting :(
When I get a definitive outcome I'll post back here.
Best,
Michael

Debian Stretch here: SHIFT-ALT-RAB is working as expected.
