Bug Description

I prefer to use Alt+Tab within Emacs to trigger code completion, so I always unbind it at the desktop level.

In Elementary, I used System Settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts to change the "Switch Windows" and "Switch Windows backwards" keybindings to Win+Tab and Shift+Win+Tab. This _added_ the Win+Tab binding, but Alt+Tab still triggers switch windows.

gsettings can be used as a workaround to change the binding:

gsettings list-recursively | grep -i switch
# …
# org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications ['<Super>Tab', '<Alt>Tab']
# …

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications "['<Super>Tab']"
