Bug Description
The new functionality added to the window switcher is great, but it now seems to be triggered simply by pressing the <alt> (without tab), making this key useless as a modifier for any other operation.
This causes problems with, among other things, the workspace switcher (part of the default installation) which relies on <ctrl>-<alt>-arrow keystrokes. I also cannot overstate how much of an issue this is when using Emacs.
Thanks
