Do you have a ~/.fluxbox/keys file? What is in it?

| Mind if I have a look at it? Alt-tab doesn't work here, and I don't have another installation to look at. |

Is there any way to modify the tabbing behaviour in Fluxbox to mirror what windows does?
For instance, pressing Alt-Tab once in windows will take me to the next window. Pressing it again will return me to the window I was just looking at. I can press alt-TabTab to go to a different window, and still return to the same window with alt-tab.
It seems like fluxbox has a pre-defined window order, and you have to alt-tab and cycle through just to get back to the window you just had... sure, there's shift-tab....but I was just wondering. |

I'm pretty sure this is the only way to cycle through. A bit annoying, but not critical IMO. I just anxiously await new releases.

Hold shift while alt-tabbing to go backwards through the cycle. Just make sure your keys-file contains something like this:
Mod1 Tab :NextWindow
Mod1 Shift Tab :PrevWindow |

Mod1 is fluxbox speak for alt. It should just be:
| Code: | | mod1 tab :nextwindow |

change this to
Mod1 Tab : NextWindow
Mod1 == Alt so there is no need to have Mod1 and Alt |

Is there a way to get tabbed windows to act as though they are one window for the purposes of alt-tabbing? I'm thinking there's not, but I'm curious to see if anyone has that working.

Did you leave a space between the ':' and 'NextWindow' IIRC fluxbox does not like that.
Also you might want to try running xev to see which events are generated when you press different keys. You could have a look at what gets dumped out when you press alt and tab and see if anything looks funny. |
