Alt+Tab mysteriously becomes Super+Tab: any idea what's going on?

us flag

Over the course of a day of working on my PC (Ubuntu 21.10 x86_64, Gnome 40.5, Wayland), without (I believe) my doing anything to cause it, the function of Alt+Tab (switching between open windows) stops working but suddenly Super+Tab does what Alt+Tab is supposed to do. I got this thread as a prompted similar question, but I only see there that Alt+Tab stops working, not that Super+Tab starts doing it's job, so I'm not sure if it's the same problem.

I'm happy to provide any additional information for troubleshooting.

EDIT: It didn't occur to me to check this until just now, but I've confirmed that my Alt key performs other combinations normally (like moving through tabs in Google Sheets), so it doesn't appear to be anything hardware-related.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
