unless it came bundled as part of another app i dont think so, plus i upgraded OTA so my apps were left intact, and i'd remember any script type xterm fiddling to achieve this function if thats how its installed... maybe i just had a weird n900! :)

Matan's modified-hildon-desktop allows alt+tab like behaviour using ctrl+backspace, so just install it.

installed it and locked my desktop. next learn to better switch apps.

Once again, I do not know wether this is possible.

Port GConf-Editor to Maemo5 (It is on OS2005 atm), and simply do the steps to create custom shortcuts. (http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-c...cuts-in-gnome/)

I just found camkeyd. It allows you to use a half-press on the camera button to get you to the running apps screen.

I use shortcutd. Prox sensor can be mapped to take you to switcher.
