This is true. Though, I don't expect kids to have more than half a dozen or so activities running at once. Cycling around wouldn't be the end of the world. I think it's cleaner to retain the standard (alt-tab) approach. > BTW, the existing XO implementation is a non-standard ctl-alt-tab, > instead of alt-shift-tab.

What I meant to say was that using a perfectly valid "primary" shortcut (such as ctrl-F or ctrl-R) seems like the wrong approach, since activities may very well want to use those. Reassigning to function keys seems like a perfectly valid solution for any hardware by the XO, which already has special meanings assigned to most of these keys. - Eben _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
