[Bug 1245387] [NEW] "switches windows of current application" is broken for macbook keyboard

 

Public bug reported:

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.
