I am attempting to map the task switcher to Ctrl + Tab for the same reason as this post here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=127186&p=337718&hilit=task+switcher+control#p337718

However, my issue seems to be a different one. When I press Ctrl + Tab (and continue holding Control) the task switcher appears with the next application highlighted. However, I can no longer cycle through the available windows by pressing Tab again while holding Control. I've scoured the settings and stack overflow, etc. with no luck. The same problem exists for mapping Alt+~ to Ctrl+~ (for switching windows within the current application).

I'm happy to RTFM but have been unable to find a solution to this particular issue, any help would be much appreciated.

This is also impacting me and is EXTREMELY frustrating.

Chadn. I filed a bug...hopefully it is a quick fix, it is really throwing me off of my workflow. I have to use a corner "gesture" to evoke all windows, like in Gnome, to get by in the meantime.

I just did a full system upgrade and restart and this problem no longer exists. Unfortunately I was in a rush today and didn't notice version numbers but I just wanted to give a heads up here.
