That's not implemented currently.

The fact that Alt+Esc and Alt+F6 work is a byproduct of the way that
mutter (and thus gnome-shell) uses the metacity configuration schema
since it is basically a fork of metacity and still has code
implementing those behaviors. But those behaviors haven't been
designed for gnome-shell use and are actually bugs IMO (they don't
even look correct graphically). They will probably disappear in a
future gnome-shell release or at least be re-designed both in looks
and/or behavior.
