Hi Tina, I'm writing this email in hopes I can understand how you use ring based alt+tab in the current ctwm, the goal being that maybe I can use it as effectively as you do. First of all, as I remember, and it's been a couple years, alt+tab isn't defined in system.ctwmrc or any of the example .ctwmrc files, so I'm assuming you've assigned alt+tab to f.warpring "next" or f.warpring "prev", or somehow both. Is this correct? Some questions... * When pressing alt+tab, what is your thought process as you do it? * What do your actions look like as you do it? * Do you have some special keyboard technique, or do you just press alt and keep on tabbing? * Do you have a way of recognizing when you're on the desired window? * What do you do if you alt+tab once too often, and need to go back one window?
