hyper key not working in gsettings for "org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings *window/app*"
I am not sure whether this is a bug or not. Please advise.
I have set up a Hyper key on the keyboard. It works fine for keyboard shortcuts and seems to be ok when checked with xev. However, applying these gsettings doesn't work:
org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows ['<Hyper>Tab']
org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows-backward ['<Hyper><Shift>Tab']
Same when using Hyper for switch-applications and cycle-windows - that also doesn't work.
However, when e.g. Super or Alt is used, all combinations work as expected.
What does Hyper not work? Is this a bug in gnome or an issue with another system component?

Edit. 2019-11-15. The exact command is
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows "['<Hyper>Tab']"
