Whereas with Alt-Tab I press and hold the Alt key and need release only the Tab key to cycle to each window, I have to release both the Alt and ` key to cycle to the next window. For consistency, I would think the two shortcuts would work the same. That is, I should be able to press and hold Alt and then only release the ` key to cycle through the similar windows. I think you're alluding to that behavior in your previous post, but I'm unsure.

I did release the Alt key when wanting to move from Alt-Tab to Alt-`. I found the difference confusing at first and then found the behavior frustrating. Probably 20 years of using Alt-Tab has me expecting that I do not have to release the Alt key and should only release the ` key.

Okay I've made a patch that should operate normally!
One gimmie though... it does _NOT_ reverse scroll! I can't figure it
out... ALT+SHIFT+` does NOT work! i am perplexed. If I change the
settings under keyboard shortcuts to ALT+1 or anything else, it works :|
Any ideas? Tim, maybe you know :-)?
Patch is attached. please test
