Bug Description

I have a macbook air 6,2 (2013) with a standard macbook keyboard.
The <alt><key-above-tab> combination for switching among windows in the current application does nothing.

There is a seperate issue with the keymap for that particular key: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1245081

But when I remap the key to properly display the "`" character (using the command 'xmodmap -e "keycode 94 = grave asciitilde"' in the Startup Applications), nothing is fixed.
