@Addison: Your are welcome.

I like this little feature so much that I would like to share the following modifications:

Instead of Escape, I use now Control + Escape. Moving to a terminal window with the previously mentioned Shift button makes the first letter capitalized. Thus, Control.

In addition to the hardware keyboard of the N810 I use an Apple wireless keyboard. So there - to make switching windows even more handy - I use the "eject-button" (top right of the keyboard). So this then is a single key to switch to the next windows.

When using this external keyboard I have also made a switch back to the previous window. The button to be used here for is Control + "Eject Button" on the Apple keyboard.

One more addition: I added the line "/usr/bin/xbindkeys" to my /home/user/.bashrc. Thus, when opening a terminal window, xbindkeys will start automatically. To make it system wide one probably would have to add it to rc2.d and init.d.

Neato.

I was wondering why you were using two keys to jump from one app to another. At first I thought it was too much to add an extra key like you've done with this.

Anyway, did you try the Xmms feature as well or haven't you bothered with it?

First, it is just a little bit more convenient to use a single key, when I work with my external keyboard. The eject button is very easy to access; however, Ctrl+Escape (which also works on my external keyboard) is not too hard neither.

Second, switching to the previous window can then be done with the Ctrl+Eject button easily. I do not need the switching backwards functionality when I use the N810's hardware keyboard only, as then I tend to work with fewer open windows.
