Ah, precedence. Ok, fixed.
Key -Meta_L A A SendToModule FvwmProxy Hide
Key Tab A M SendToModule FvwmProxy Circulate \
ScanWindow East South (CurrentPage !Sticky)
Key Tab A SM SendToModule FvwmProxy Circulate \
ScanWindow West North (CurrentPage !Sticky)

Ok, but what you're not saying and what I'm not doing, is that if
the distance along the primary is, say, 1, that it says "that's pretty close",
and balances it with the cross axis (sorta like what Direction does).
Ok, back to the man pages. Also, I went with ScanWindow (singular) to be
more like ThisWindow. A commit is on its way real soon.
