If you use ClickToFocus you get this behavior. ClickToFocus is also the
way focus in done in MS Windows. To use ClickToFocus add the style line:
Style "*" ClickToFocus
To have a key that works like Alt+Tab, create a binding like:
Key F8 A N Prev [] FlipFocus
The feature that is distinctly missing is the MS Windows behavior when
you hit and hold Alt, hit Tab multiple times, and release Alt. Something
close can be achived with:
Key F8 A S Prev [] Focus
The problem with this is that it does not reorder the window list, so the
result will not always be what you expect. If anyone has any idea how to
do this, let me know. I would be willing to do the programming.
Hope that helps,
