I like the idea a lot, but as somebody else did, I would like to put my
vote in for a separate app (bbcycle is a very neat name, too).
The way I imagine it would be that either it automatically uses alt+tab,
and bbkeys could override that combination if it wanted to, or that it
uses bbkeys to configure the key-combination for the cycling, a la
KeyToGrab(Tab), WithModifier(Mod1), WithAction(SaneCycle)
where bbkeys grabs the keys (as with any other key) and just sends it to
the cycling-application.
But a very interesting idea, indeed!
