Ubuntu 18.04 alt+shift+tab does not switch apps backwards
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Title says it all.
Since upgrading from 17.10 to 18.04 Alt+Tab works fine i.e. switches apps cycling forward. But Alt+Shift+Tab does not switch apps backwards.
I went to Settings > Shortcuts and noticed that the shortcut for Switch applications is Super+Tab.
I tried Super+Tab and Super+Shift+Tab and they worked as expected, but i'm hardwired to use Alt+[Shift]+Tab. So I switched this shortcut to Alt+Tab.
Still Alt+Shift+Tab only switches forward, and not backwards.
Changing the shortcut to Super+Tab again works as expected for both forward and backward switching.
Any idea how to make the Alt+Shift+Tab work for backward app switching?

That's because Alt+Shift+Tab in Ubuntu 18.04 is blocked by another shortcut.
Run this command to free alt+shift combination:
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options

@Piterden that happened to me too. Did you find a workaround where the two can coexist? For me each one precludes the other.

I was able to resolve it using Gnome Tweaks GUI.
Open Tweaks and go to Keyboard & Mouse, then click - Additional Layout Options:
as shown here, ans then uncheck Alt+Shift under Switching to another layout section
as shown here
That fixed it for me.
