Hi,

i was looking for a way to do the classic alt-tab with the keyboard open.
because moving to "home" button seems a little bit un-ergonomic i gaved xmodmap a try.

it seems that this button's keycode is 71 and it keysym is F5

BUT assigning any key the keysym F5 (so that switching windows can be done using another key) fails to popup the applications list.

furthermore, removing F5 keysym for the the button with keycode 71
xmodmap -e 'keycode 71 = a'
will result in sending the 'a' character and poping up the alt-tab menu

this mean the keysym 71 is treated at some other level.

Am i the only one seeking for this? if not, let me know.

thanks
Mihai
