Task switcher and arrows

Wed Jan 18, 2017 10:12 am
Hi,
I used to use the task switcher the following way :
1/ alt-tab
2/ cycle between the windows using keyboard arrows (forward/backward)

However, it seems that it does not work anymore. The only way to cycle between the windows is to use alt-tab (forward) and shift-alt-tab (backward). I don't find this very handy...

So my question is : Is it possible to make use of the arrows to cycle between the windows ?

Thanks !

Dittos. Would love this, and it's standard on win/mac/ubu, etc..

indeed a regression. Behavior existed in Plasma 4 (left and right arrow keys), but doesn't in Plasma 5. I tried switching between the various task switchers and none of them respond to the arrow keys.

Suggest filing a feature request for this.
