Ok, well I've done some snooping through code, and it seems that I can in
fact put this all into an external application. I wasn't aware of how much
information blackbox provided to other apps. bbcycle does sound like a
decent name, so I think I shall call it such. If the events could be added
to bbkeys for this, that would be great. But two events need to be added:
SaneCycle
SaneCycleBackward
So that if they hit alt-shit-tab for example, it can call the app, but the
app moves backwards in the list to start instead of forwards.
My only remaining question at the moment then, is how does the bbcycle
app get the SaneCycle(Backward) event from bbkeys, or from BlackBox?
Thanks
