But that it is not required to keep alt pressed (keeping it pressed shouldn't harm). I would prefer giving focus directly to the line edit (window switching is a keyboard task, so everything should be possible without mouse usage). That would of course require some magic that tab switches the tasks and the line edit keeps the focus :-) I just would like to get rid of the keyboard grab. I think Chani will understand that :-D
