Next window is the one after the focused one in the window list.
So, if you don't change Focus, only Raise the next window, the
consecutive Next commands will operate on the same window.
You almost always want to do Focus with Next, so create a function that
does Raise _and_ Focus and other things like uniconify, WarpToWindow
if you want this. You may reuse the WindowListFunc for example.
In one of the latest stable or latest unstable versions do:
Key Escape A M Next (AcceptsFocus) WindowListFunc
(In the older versions the WindowListFunc syntax would be less compact.)
