Hey folks! I've dabbled with smalltalk here and there over the years, but
recently I've settled in to learn Pharo in earnest. A few of you might have
seen the videos I've been putting up; they seem to be making the rounds on
Twitter. I just want to say I've felt really welcomed by all the people who
have commented with helpful tips, or offered to help with my exploration :-)

I've run into my first big blocker as a newcomer. Like many programmers I'm
a fan of keeping my hands on the keyboard. Now, I'm more flexible on this
than some. I recognize that Pharo is a visual environment, and it makes
sense to explore it with a mouse. And some interactions just make more
sense with a mouse.

That said, no matter what windowing environment I'm in, I find the ability
to quickly cycle between windows without leaving the keyboard pretty
crucial. One Windows or Ubuntu I would normally do this with Alt-Tab or
Super-Tab. On MacOS it's Cmd-Tab.

I've been trying to figure out how to do this in Pharo. I've looked for
answers with Google, SO, and on IRC, and I've come up blank. I'm starting
to think it can't be done.

So, I've come here for your help. Is there a way to cycle between windows?
Or is anyone working on it? Or, perhaps, am I missing an element of the
Pharo programming workflow which renders it unneeded?

Many thanks,
