[Feature Request] Support Alt/Super + Shift + Tab in Window Switcher

[bbb651]

Currently you can only cycle forwards through the list of windows. Using shift to cycle in the opposite direction is supported pretty much everywhere window/tab switching is supported (other desktops, browsers, code editors, terminals, etc.) and would massively improve usability.

[git-f0x]

Completely unrelated, but how did you put shift into that box?

GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) supports the <kbd> html tag.
You can do some fun things with it.

There are PRs for all the parts of this feature that are needed. For convenience, I'm list them all here:

• feat: Support --reverse for alt-tab #183
• feat: Add WindowSwitcherReverse action cosmic-settings-daemon#49
• feat: Add keybinding for WindowSwitcherReverse cosmic-comp#807
• feat: Add alt-shift-tab reverse window switcher shortcut cosmic-settings#675

@skylerberg did you manage to get it to work? I couldn't figure out why it didn't for me and how to debug across components, and I've stopped daily driving the alpha since because of the lack of night light (it also might've broke because I've mixed alpha1 and git components when testing, I didn't want to recompile everything). Either way I think #150 supersedes this

[skylerberg]

Yep, I did get it to work locally. Great to see that there is another PR up that covers this change and ordering by recency :)

Pretty sure #225 also closes this issue!
