Alt+Tab is one of the most often used keyboard shortcuts. It's used hundreds of times per day to switch between windows quickly. There's just one problem with it. Have you ever wondered how you hold your hand when invoking it?
Hand posture when invoking Alt+Tab
I have to bend my left thumb under my hand to reach left Alt. This is not a natural posture and possibly even more awkward than the Vulcan salute.
How about invoking Alt+Tab via a convenience shortcut like Mod+D?

Now we're talking! No bending fingers or leaving the home row anymore.
We don't even second think about how clumsy the first posture is because we're so used to it, and there aren't alternative shortcuts on regular keyboards. Having used our third generation prototype for about half a year, going back to a regular keyboard that is not configurable this way makes me feel really uncomfortable. This is exactly the kind of thing that doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is.
People invoke Alt+Tab hundreds of times per day which translates to hundred(s) of thousands of times per year. We are here to provide you a more comfortable way to do this and many other things.
Should you have any ideas about (possibly application-specific) custom shortcuts, you'd like to use, please let us know!
