I can add this patch to my build sessions.

I'm confused about applying. Which apps are a good test environment?

In Firefox I use Ctrl-Page Up and Ctrl-Page Down to move through tabs. Likewise in Konsole and Konqueror. In Kate I use Alt-Left Arrow and Alt-Right Arrow. Yet all of those are self-contained or MDI apps.

If I am using KWrite, which is SDI, and one of the KWrite windows has the focus, the Alt-` shortcut allows me to cycle through only the KWrite windows?

If I understand correctly, then I if I have a dozen windows open, I use Alt-Tab to focus on the app and then switch to Alt-` to cycle until I find the specific KWrite window I want?
