It would be nice that the user could abort the alt+tab sequence with
alt+esc (like in MS Windows). Sometimes I find myself thinking "oops, on second
thought - I don't want to change the current window" while having the alt+tab
windows selector popup open and the alt key down.

I hope I could, while holding the alt key down, push esc to close the task
selector popup window and continue working with the window I had active.
