Actually, in common with many windows users, I just use alt-tab. KDE handles it very well (showing you the window titles in a non-intrusive way as you're cycling through them, so you can quickly hit the correct one), and sawfish/gnome is not bad either; in both cases it's much quicker than aiming a mouse pointer at the correct window, especially if you have a lot of open windows. Long time since I've used windows but my memory is that alt-tab isn't quite so nice there, though that key combination is I think a Microsoft invention. Of course, this has nothing to do with FreeBSD as such. Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
