Well, this is not correct. I don't think you want this binding to work
when you are on a window title only. So don't do "T", but "A" (anywhere)
instead. Then the next argument should be one letter modifiers, C means
Ctrl, M means Meta or Alt, S means Shift. So in my example above you
should press Ctrl-Alt-F5. (Note that in some OSes this combination of
keys, Ctrl-Alt-F5, is reserved for switching to the virtual console number
5, in this case use Shift-Ctrl or anything other you want).

  Key N A SC Next (XTerm) MyFocusAndRaise # press Shift-Ctrl-N

If this is a Windows related problem, you should definitely ask the list
not me, I don't run Windows.
