On Ubuntu 13.04 desktop I am trying to change keyboard layout.
First in System Settings -> Keyboard Layout -> Options -> Alt-Win behaviour,
I picked the following mapping:
Ctrl is mapped to Alt
Alt is mapped to Win.
And that works perfect.
Now I want to change shortcut for application switching (since I swapped keys it is Win–Tab now, I want it back on Alt–Tab)
In System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Navigation,
I picked new combination for Switch Applications.
It is properly detected as Ctrl–Tab, but it is not working. It still works as Alt–Tab (since I swapped keyboard in first step, it is actually Win–Tab).
Is this a bug ? Is there any way I can change combination for switching applications ? Thanks.

On Ubuntu 14.10 I've solved this issue by installing compizconfig
In compiz go to Ubuntu Unity Plugin > Switcher and set "Key to start the Switcher" to Ctrl+Tab
