I was not suggesting using alt-tab just alt

Well if that is the case you could just as well go for the Tab, ctrl-Tab
I don't think many people will get to learn to use ctrl tab. And using 
it would

you can get stuck, which is very bad I must say.
Sigh there must be some nice way out of this

For some reason I get a bad taste in my mouth when I hear paperclip you 
just don't do things
like that :)
