* Keyboard grab makes it impossible to use the search in present windows effect
http://www.undefinedfire.com/kde/alttabbing-lots-windows-quickly/ As it's now possible to deactivate effects with their specified shortcut I suppose doing this in KDE 4.3 gives you the behaviour you want to try out?
* Why do we have to hold the alt key while switching? Can't we break with the concept? (get rid of the keyboard grab) <- here I need input from the usability experts. Would it be ok to break with such a concept although all other plattforms use it? What could be a better solution than pressing alt? When we break how can we provide a easy "migration path" for our users?
Don't, under any circumstances, change the default behaviour of alt+tab. It's been around since Windows 1.0 in 1985, has been implemented in all major graphical environments and has been pretty much hard-coded into a large portion of people that have used a computer since. If you want a new way of switching windows use something like meta+tab. As several others have mentioned the release of the alt key indicates the end of the switch. That event unfortunately requires a passive key grab to receive. -- Lucas Murray :: http://www.undefinedfire.com GPG Fingerprint: 0B88 499E 3F5B 1405 D952 258A AD90 B4F5 90B6 3534
