I am not sure of ALT-TAB in twm but in Blackbox using bbkeys it is easy to program keys to do whatever you like. I tried enlightenment, windowmaker, gnome, kde, cde, twm, fvwm, olm, icewm, sawfish & blackbox and the wm I always came back to was Blackbox, small codebase, Clean and fast... what more do you need ?
Cheers,
Mark

hi heiko, i've just started with x and use twm for about 3 hours now...
not sure if its rude to ask, is there any chance we get a copy of this script
so to have a starting point??? i'm planning to stick with wtm for the moment and
try to configure it to learn. dont wanna fall into the trap of downloading and
trying all bloody window managers from my 56k connection.
u know, one thing i realy miss from ms-win is the alt-tab thing to switch
between windows(and brink them forward as well). can this be done on wtm? it
just pisses me off that i got to move the mouse all the time to change window
and have to click to brink it forward...
thanx a lot.

KDE is a windozish desktop, you dont need it, it is confusing. twm, that is the default when you install X, is all you need to run things like xv, basic image manipulation, or gimp, or netscape.
Surely there's better window managers than twm! If you want still want it small, fast and efficient (even more so than twm), then use Blackbox.
Well, everybody has his personal favourites. I was thinking about somebody new to Unix.
But I like twm. No junk on the screen. I dont need more than one desktop. And all thge items that could be usefull on the desktop are in the left mousekey. The most essential things. Like gyroscope, a calculator, xmix. Much better ;-)
Somebody from this list helped me a lot in setting up a .twmrc. Beauty in use.. Worth the efford.
