I really would like the ability to ctrl-tab (or whatever meta-tab or even meta-some other key) reliably between windows - its frustrating that it only works sometimes via alt-tab. There has been a lot of great work on keyboard shortcuts, which I really appreciate - it would be awesome to finish the job and even add a few more.

Does this thread help with this if it was implemented?

one of the objectives we want to Pharo7 is to improve usability (in windows in particular, but also in general).

maybe that means is finally the time to review the full key-binding support in Pharo�� something that, as you said, started some years ago but we never got the time to finish (do it right is a lot of work, heh).

But meta does also present problems in linux, doesn't it? I mean, meta in linux and windows means Ctrl. That means that overriding meta+arrows will break the Ctrl+arrows text navigation. What am I missing?

I don't think that alternativeMeta means something useful. And I believe in this topic that there are no magic solutions. Spotter should define for each platform shortcuts that do not override text navigation,

alternativeMeta will provide reusable solution for such cases.
