I would like to write a very simple window manager that will let the user switch, hide, expose, iconify, and move windows without ever having to touch a mouse; in the simplest case, I would have the window manager look for some unused keyboard event (say <ctrl>-1) and cycle windows from the list returned by XQueryTree each time the key is pressed; the trick is how to get the key (XPeekEvent?) without usurping any of the other clients' requests. I could probably figure this out, but if other people have experience or ideas, they could save me a great deal of time.
