Alt+Tab does not seem to be working.

I installed Arch Linux using the install script (minimal) and then installed the cutefish DE. Everything was fine at first but after a ton of configuration and installing packages, the `Alt+Tab` keyboard shortcut seems to have stopped working altogether.

I cannot figure out how to check what might be causing this issue or how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

before package installations, did the shortcut work?
Did you change the keyboard settings?

Re: Alt+Tab does not seem to be working.

I installed cutefish recently by following the guide from Cutefish - ArchWiki. The keybinding instructions using sxhkd is good and working for ctrl+alt+t to open cutefish-terminal and using super+d to open cutefish-launcher. However, when I am trying to do alt+tab keybinding it does not seem to work. I am not sure if it is because of my command I am giving it or what. I also tried searching through the arch forums for extra instructions for alt+tab but have not found any. I also searched through reddit. My current .config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc file contains:

alt + tab
    xdotool key Alt+Tab

ctrl + alt + t
    cutefish-terminal

super + d
    cutefish-launcher

Any help would be appreciated!

drobot419,

This thread is a couple years old and, undoubtedly, things have changed in that time.  I am going to close this thread, welcome you to the Arch Linux Forums, and invite you to start a new thread that you will own.  Feel free to link back to this thread if you feel it to be important.
