I don't know if it's already supported by XO but Mac OS X uses
command ` (the tilde key above to tab key -- proximity is the
important thing) to go back through the list of applications. It's a
lot easier to type than shift/command/tab.
Note that in OS X, as is true of other operating systems, when in the
Alt-Tab UI, the shift+TAB has the same effect as tilde does. Tab goes
in the standard left-to-right cycling of open applications, while
Shift-Tab (the common "opposite of tab" key combination) and/or (on OS
X) tilde reverses that and does right-to-left cycling.
It is a simple feature, but a handy one to add in if possible.
Actually, Cmd-` cycles between windows of the same app on my Mac.
What I *really* like about the Mac's Cmd-Tab switcher is how you can
use "regular" interactions after bringing up the switcher interface
with Cmd-Tab: as long as Cmd is not released, you can Tab, Shift-Tab,
use cursor keys, or (what I really miss elsewhere) the mouse to
select the application you want to switch to.
