Feel free to flame me down, but I'm wondering what users think about calling "Window List" "Alt-Tab" instead.

I can think of one obvious logical reason against this: users can change the key bindings if they don't want to use <alt-tab> (and those people will also come here and state as much (>_<))
Any other reasons?

On the other hand,
- people do seem to know what "Alt-tab" is. "Alt-tab" seems to have transcended being just a key combination, becoming a common term for the functionality itself.
- Searching for "alt tab" on Google seems to support this (didn't microsoft ever give windows' functionality a proper name??),
- I also see another email today with "Alt-Tab" in the subject.
- "Window List" on the other hand seems like it may be unique to enlightenment (I dunno - enlighten me - I've not used KDE since my uni days, never used GNOME, and Window Maker's "Window List" seems to be kind of different again - what do other window managers call "Alt-tab"?
