Hi!
Since KDE 3.x there were pretty nice thing like a list of all active windows, popping out on a key combo like Alt-F5 (or Ctrl-F5) I don't remember exactly. So, binding this combo to a dedicated mouse button (its a very good idea since many buttoned mice like Logitech MX1000/Revolution and others are available) made a menu, listing all active windows, popup right under pointer, making switching between running applications very fast and comfortable. But I have no clue how to make this in 4.x. Searching through systemsettings and desktop config gave nothing. Can anybody help to figure out how to get it working back again.

You mean the Alt-F3 maybe? Brings up the generic Window menu (like Alt-Space in Windows does iirc).

So here writing from work:
you can find it in the Control Center (Settings manager); tree view here
Computer Administration -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Global Keyb. Shortcuts
select for KDE Component from the drop down list KWin
scroll drown til you see "window operations menu", default Alt-F3.

he means something different - you are talking about the window context menu, he wants a list of all running windows. (i remember that option from kde3.5)

I'll have a look, when I am back home, at my linux system.

Ah sorry. But that was integrated in KDE3, not a helper application?
