Keyboard Shortcut to switch between multiple programs (Alt + Tab)
 
Another discovery (may be some of you know this already).

first click "ctrl + backspace", this will show you all the open programs.

then click 1, 2, 3 to open the respective programs.

Like if the first open program is conversations, then clicking 1 will open conversations.

afaik, the best way to achieve ALT + Tab feature

but also it doesn't work for more than 3 programs I guess. when i click Ctrl + backspace and then 4 or 5, the respective program doesn't open. I guess its some kinda bug? please fix it :)

I use shortcutd from repositories to enable the camera button as the task switcher. it's perfect, no need to open the keyboard and my finger is never far from the button :-)

you didn't get the point. camera button using shortcutd is just like ctrl + backspace. but then it just shows the dashboard. it doesn't switch b/w programs unless you click.

I think you can do it using Matan's modified-hildon-desktop. Check it out.

Here you have: switch between running applications (I hope this is the correct one!) :D

Click on the link in the upper right if you need more information. :)
