My key binding for NextWindow is Mod3+Tab and for PrevWindow is
Mod3+Shift+Tab. I've assigned Mod3 to the Super_L and Super_R keys, which
are what I've assigned the Windows keys on my keyboard. To cycle in reverse,
using the PrevWindow binding, I don't need to hit <ENTER>, so bbkeys must be
interpreting Shift as a modifier but not Mod3. Is this correct?
