add alttab2 patch for dwm
It adds alt-tab like functionality to dwm, by cycling through
windows/clients in their recently used order. Tag `~0` is used to view
all clients while doing so. One can also click to focus a window.

+Alt-tab2
+=======
+
+Description
+-----------
+This patch is based on [alt-tab](../alt-tab/).
+It adds alt-tab like functionality to dwm,
+by cycling through windows/clients in their recently used order.
+Tag `~0` is used to view all clients while doing so.
+One can also click to focus a window.
+In order to use this patch [winview](../winview/) is also necessary.
+
+Rationale
+---------
+For whatever reason, the original alt-tab patch made dwm crash for me.
+Besides, it was a huge patch, this version is simplified to use dwm's
+core features + winview patch instead of drawing an alt tab window.
+
+Configuration
+---------------------
+* `tabModKey` - If this key is hold the alt-tab functionality stays active.
This key must be the same as key that is used to active function alttab
+* `tabCycleKey` - If this key is hit the alt-tab program moves one position
forward in clients. This key must be the same as key that is used to active
function alttab
+
+`tabModkey` and `tabCycleKey` are keycodes values.
+In case you use to other keys, checkout the instructions in
+[alt-tab](../alt-tab/index.md).
+
+Support
+-----
+This patch is kept alive on my [github](https://github.com/lucas-mior/dwm).
+
+Download
+--------
+* [dwm-alttab2-6.4.diff](dwm-alttab2-6.4.diff) (patch on top of winview)
+* [dwm-alttab2+winview-6.4.diff](dwm-alttab2+winview-6.4.diff) (winview +
alttab2 as a single patch)
