Re: How can I disable/alter Alt-Tab win32 switching behavour?


I don't think our problem is so much trapping Alt+Tab as it is presenting a comprehensive way to get out of Cygwin/XFree86 when Alt+Tab is disabled. That would be the real challenge. It is doable, but it is bigger than just disabling Alt+Tab.

Windows will always handle taskswitch with alt-tab. You can not disable it.
How the window manager handles keys depends on the window manager. Check
the documentation and the config files for the window manager.



Gee, that sounds like a challenge...
