I have configured bbkeys to do alt-tabbing:

[keybindings] (begin keybindings)
[NextWindow] (Mod1-Tab)
[PrevWindow] (Mod1-Shift-Tab)
[end] (end keybindings)

(my full config is in attachment)

When I hold alt and press tab, bbkeys shows window list and starts "alt-tabbing" (pressing tab while holding alt will move to next window in list) as expected.
However, if I press Shift-tab while holding ALT (which correspond to PrevWindow assigned in the config file), the cursor still keep moving to next window, not to the previous as I would expect.

Also, if I press alt-shift-tab to start tabbing in opposite direction (prevwindow), the windows list is exactly the same as if pressing only alt-tab (nextwindow) and the cursor moves in the window list in the same direction (forward) too.

I am using bbkeys 0.9.1, I use it with fluxbox 1.1.1 as the windowmanager.

    Hi Martin, I can't duplicate this, even with your config file. Do you have numlock or scrolllock or capslock or something pressed?

    I discovered that Alt-shift in my keymap (setxkbmap -layout 'us,cz(qwerty)' -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle,numpad:microsoft') toggles the keymap (cz/us) when pressed (not when released as I would expect) and pressing alt-shift-tab therefore switches keymap, the shift is "eaten" and regular alt-tab is then received. I guess I'll have to fix my keymap instead.
