    [SOLVED] What is backtab in kglobalshortcutsrc?

    ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc has
    Code:
    Walk Through Windows (Reverse)=Alt+Shift+Backtab,none,Walk Through Windows (Reverse)
    What is "Backtab"? Which key is it?
    Kubuntu 20.04

    On a generic keyboard like mine it's the same key as Tab, just with shift pressed. One might argue that that's the same key as Tab, so in in the kglobalshortcutsrc line "Walk Through Windows (Reverse)=Alt+Shift+Backtab" having both "Shift" and "Back" is confusingly redundant.

      Same here. I think Alt+Shift+Tab would be sufficient.

        Backtab is just as unclear (to many) as is the any key ('Press any key to continue'). How many looked in vein for the 'any' key?

            I see the same thing in KDE Neon: KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.3 • KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 • Qt Version: 5.12.0

            And so I headed over to file a bug but as I was filling in the report, a "similar" bug was listed: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284000 which I don't understand at all. So I backed off.
