Hi all, Just got around to downloading 7.4 and am encountering problems with using Alt+tab to switch applications.
It worked in 7.2, but not 7.3 or 7.4.
I rely on this a keystroke a lot and it totally bugs me that it doesn't work. Note that I'm using knoppix64 and "no3d" so compiz isn't running.
I looked at the file ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml and it looked fine, the relevant part being:
<!-- Keybindings for window switching -->
<keybind key="A-Tab">
<action name="NextWindow"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="A-S-Tab">
<action name="PreviousWindow"/>
<keybind key="C-A-Tab">
<action name="NextWindow">
<panels>yes</panels><desktop>yes</desktop>
</action>
</keybind>
and it all looks good, it just doesn't work.
Ctrl+Alt+Tab works (and does something that switches between Panel and pcmanfm???) ,
and Alt+Escape works fine (which can be used as a workaround...)
<!-- Keybindings for windows -->
<keybind key="A-F4">
<action name="Close"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="A-Escape">
<action name="Lower"/>
<action name="FocusToBottom"/>
<action name="Unfocus"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="A-space">
<action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-menu</menu></action>
</keybind>
Can you help me figure this out?
Thanks, Don
