If you have sticky keys enabled, you should be able to "make alt be
pressed and held" (not sure if this has a technical term) by hitting
alt twice.  Then hit tab however many times you need.  Then "release
alt" by hitting alt again.  In other words, to get the behavior
equivalent to
   <press-alt>-<tab>-<tab>-<tab>-<release-alt>
but with sticky keys, you would instead use the key sequence
   <alt>-<alt>-<tab>-<tab>-<tab>-<alt>

Hope that helps,
Elijah
