not sure why suddenly alt-tab to switch from one object (say terminal) to another doesn't work no more.

anyone knows how to get it to work again?

That's a double negative, so it works, right? ;-)

I don't know. Usually when that happens to me I find its because I'm trying to do Ctrl-Alt-1 or 2 or 3 instead of F1, F2, or F3 like I thought.

Lame, but its all I can think of...

well it used to work first time emerged flux.
but i deleted ~/.openbox and openbox under gdm menu.
then it doesn't work anymore. dunno why that matters though

For alt-tab to switch windows, you'll need to add
Code:
Mod1 Tab :NextWindow
Mod1 Shift Tab :PrevWindow

to your fluxbox keys file...either ~/.fluxbox/keys or /usr/share/commonbox/keys

A double negative:
"doesn't work no more" = works.
"doesn't work anymore" = doesn't.
"works no more" = doesn't.

:wink:
