Tactile switch image from KICAD. Any idea what is attached to what?

That is a DPST switch. When the button is up, nothing is connected to anything. When the button is down, 1 is connected to 2 and 3 is connected fo 4.
If you are using a typical SPST switch, that is not the right symbol. The common ones are SPST and have 1 and 3 connected together internally, and same for 2 and 4. When pushed, all four pins are connected together.

I'm assuming this is related to your question on the P.B. switch that has a internal connection between 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 which is essentially a SPST switch, but you would use the one you show for the benefit of the PCCT footprint/ layout.
What you could do is modify the symbol in the part editor to include the connections I mentioned and save it to the Switch library just with a different ID name.
