Today I've undone the tweak and I'm using the default behavior again,
and breaking my old habit.  So, Alt-Tab is back to its default "Switch
applications", and Alt-` is back to its default "Switch windows of an
application".

It's going fine.  Every once in a while I'll forget to use Alt-` to
switch between my Terminal windows, and I'll use Alt-Tab instead, and my
calculator pops up.  :)  But I'm learning pretty quickly.

I'm also getting accustomed to bringing up the Activities view by
pressing the Super key with my left ring finger.  (Now I'm starting to
with I could use the Arrow keys in that view to choose a window -- as
in, "Look Ma, no mouse!"  :)
