Issue

In Mint 18.3 Alt-Above_Tab keybinding cycled through all open windows of a specific application in all workspaces irrespective of the setting for alttab-switcher-show-all-workpaces

In Mint 19 Alt-Above_Tab keybinding inherits from alttab-switcher-show-all-workspaces

As a related issue in both 18.3 and 19 the Alt-Above_Tab keybinding is not displayed in the Keyboard application (it says unassigned) despite being set in dconf and working out of the box

Steps to reproduce

Check behaviour in a fresh install of both distributions.

Expected behaviour

I'm not sure if the intended behaviour is the 18.3 behaviour or 19 behaviour so don't know if it's a bug-fix from 18.3 to 19 or a regression.

From a usability point of view it would be nice for Alt-Tab and Alt-Above_Tab to have independent settings exposed for the all workspaces or not behaviour. It would also be nice for the there to be a Ctrl-Alt-Above_Tab keybinding that works in a similar way to Ctrl-Alt-Tab (i.e shows windows from all applications when the default is not to).
