Description Joe Halliwell 2006-05-18 17:59:18 UTC 
It would improve the keyboard accessibility of the desktop if there were a
global keyboard shortcut to popup and focus the "window selector" applet.

After little research it looks like there's no really clean way to do this at the moment. I considered two approaches:

1) (like the menu applet) patch gnome-panel adding a new GNOME_PANEL_ACTION for the window list (which may involve moving wncklet), patch metacity to add a keybinding. Unfortunately this touches a lot of modules and is rather ad hoc.

2) (like tomboy/deskbar) add (something like) tomboy's keybinding code to wnckapplet. Unfortunately that would mean there's quite a lot of it.

I'm thinking of implementing this anyway (using the second approach since it's the least intrusive) but would welcome any comments or suggestions.
