--- Comment #8 from Dan Harkless <k...@harkless.org> ---
FYI for anyone who comes across this bug based on just the title (which
apparently didn't unambiguously reflect what the OP was wishing for), assigning
a keyboard shortcut to KWin for toggling raise/lower of the window under the
cursor is already possible as of KDE 4.  Just go to System Settings: Common
Appearance and Behavior: Shortcuts and Gestures, then select KDE component:
KWin, then scroll down to Toggle Window Raise/Lower and assign the desired
keystroke.

Then go to System Settings: Workspace Appearance and Behavior: Window Behavior:
Window Behavior, and select Policy: Focus Under Mouse or Focus Strictly Under
Mouse.  Unfortunately it's not possible to get this working with the settings
to the left of Focus Under Mouse on the slider, which means no Focus stealing
prevention.  You probably also want to set "Delay focus by" to 0 ms or
thereabouts.

Ever since CDE in the early '90s, I've found it handy (especially during
development) to overlap the borders of two terminal windows (with an editor
running in the lefthand window, and a commandline in the righthand window),
place the mouse pointer on the overlapping region, and then switch between the
windows with a keystroke, so as not to have to keep reaching for the mouse.  

A lot of discussions out there claim this isn't possible with KDE, but it is. 
One quirk is that you have to use the assigned keystroke two times in a row for
it to lower the active window; not sure why.
