Switching windows with keyboard
 
Is it possible to switch between different windows via a keyboard shortcut? Are there keyboard shortcuts for the back button and for closing a window?

this onlybrings you back to the app switcher... I think OP is looking for more of the ATL-Tab Function in windows...

Yes, that is one things that are different in the Maemo 5 and IMHO it's not for the best:

- the UI can't be controlled with the keyboard. You can't do alt-tab, you can't minimize windows, you can't scroll with the arrows, can't TAB to the next UI control, etc

- the UI itself doesn't support the old way of doing things with a mouse which sometimes it's faster than the new kinetic way. For instance if I have a really long list (like contacts or applications) it's much faster to grab the button on a scroll bar and go to the middle or end versus just scrolling with your finger again, and again and again until you reach that spot.
Especially when the gadget does have a stylus, I think UI should somehow let that use efficiently too.

You can scroll your email list with the arrows.
