Keybinding "switch-window-backward" not works

[fasheng]

Hi,

I found that the code to fix "switch-applications-backward" keybinding issue in src/Widgets/WindowSwitcher.vala cause "switch-window-backward" not works. I wrote a patch for it, hope that help.

And thanks for the amazing work of Elementary OS, have a good time!

Yes there is clearly a problem in the code, when the switcher detects 'switch-window-backwards' sets backwards to true but on the following lines (In the 'FIXME' section) is reset to false again.
IT should only be reset if its not true already.
I also patched it myself otherwise the switcher is really annoying to use

Yup also a problem for me!

Does the patch simply check for shift or does it consider the full keybinding for the backwards setting?

For what i can see the patch considers the keybinding, The 'detect shift workaround' is still there but in a way that doesnt break the 'switch-window-backwards' keybind.
