I have a recent problem where my alt key is sticking whenever I alt tab to a new window using Vista. This is exspecially troublesome cause I have to mash alt to clear it when I go back to my focus (so that when I push f it doesn't read as alt f).
Anyone know a way to cycle windows in Vista without alt tab? Maybe something like ctrl mousewheel would be pretty sweet.
On Vista there's the Win-TAB alternative, which gives that 3D list of windows.
A quick google turned up this

I' have no personal experience of it, and I've no idea if it uses an alternative key combo, or how well it works. Caveat emptor.
on mine i just have the main window a couple of pixels short of max resolution and my taskbar on auto hide, so i can still use the bar witout having to alt-tab
Windowsnapper & Innerspace has a feature called WheelSwitcher, you can bind your mousewheel to rotate through open clients, instant switching makes this a VERY viable way to control which clients open... most folks use a modifier like ctrl or shift wheel to do it.
Are you using one monitor or two?Quote:

1) I'm using two LCD's: Main character runs on one monitor, and the 4 slaves are in a tiled 2x2 format on the other monitor.
For the main character, I have the instance of WoW set *NOT* to bind to a maximizer "full screen" configuration, so I can just press the normal "Windows Maximize" button, and my start menu is still in view.
2) If you're using one monitor, which is how I started out, you can set the start menu to "auto hide" and just press the Windows key on the keyboard to pop up the start menu. There's no reason to alt+tab. Just press the Windows key to make the start menu visible, then click on what you want to make the active window. Make sure the maximizer windows are set to not "always be on top", because then you'll never see your other windows even if you were to try and switch to them. :D
Render this entire post useless if you're not using Keyclone. I don't have any experience with other software(s).
Good luck!
