From one day to the other, I can't interchange windows by pressing command+tabulator. The mission control has also changed to F9 in the shortcut list. I can still change between tabs with ctrl+tabulator, but that on the other hand isn't listed on the keyboard shortcut list.
HEEEEEELPP PLEASE!!!
MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)
Well, it's not really F3. It is the associated function on F3. The F-keys have two functions, one without the fn key and one with the Fn key. These can be swapped in the Keyboard System Preferences (use al F1, F2... keys as Function Keys). If that is checked, the F-keys are F1, F2, … and to get the pictured functions you have to hold down fn.
In Mission Control, you can change the settings for which keys are used for the functions. If you choose an Fn key, then that is the key. It is not the picture function attached to that key.
Mission Control used to use F9,F10,F11. However, that has recently been changed to ctrl-up/down arrow.
Are there any other problems with the Tab key? Does it function normally indenting text?
You shouldn't be able to set a shortcut to cmd-tab, but it might be worth looking through Shortcuts to see if you have managed to do that. You can also try resetting the shortcuts to defaults. However, my guess is something else is interfering with the behavior. Do you have any other input sources (Tablet, Mouse, Keyboard) that uses a kernel extension to interact with the OS.
Sounds like something has caused Mission Control to crash. I don't know for sure if Mission Control and the Application Switcher are interrelated, but it could be the same cause.
Have you tried restarting?
If restarting doesn't get MC running again, download this app, run it, and Share the Report here by choosing Copy Report and paste it into a reply here.

Obviously you did mean to sound "*****" but it's fine. You get used to it online. To answer your question, many people forget that they've reassigned keyboard shortcuts, system preferences etc.
Have a good day.
Yes I know there's a list. F9 isn't in the list unless you added it.

I am not certain what you are having problems with but "Command + Tab" switches between "Application" windows and where do you see Mission Control changed to "F9"? Mission control is "F3" or "option + up/down arrow".
Well I've never had any trouble before and Brightness on 1+2 works fine, Sound on 10-12 works fine, Music on 7-9 works fine, 5+6 gives me a circle with a line trough, like it's not allowed and nothing happens with 3+4.
Tab works fine in Word and other places where writing is active. And there's no problem switching between tabs in Firefox, Safari and Chrome. It's almost like Mission Control is shut off somehow. I can't get in running by swiping up on the trackpad either.
Sorry dialabrain. Let me rephrase.
I have never touched it. Because I don't posses the skills of someone that has anything to do there. I'm absolutely sure I would mess something up.
Compared to my parents I'm a genius, but compared to everyone here giving advice, I'm completely technologically illiterate, so I steer clear of those things.
Well,- the fact that nothing happens when pressing "command+tab" is my problem. Same as nothing happens when I press F3.
There's a list of shortcuts in Systems Preferences - Keyboard.

I've tried changing it to F3, but still nothing happens when I press it.
command+tabulator shortcut gone?!?!?!
