Well, this work as documented in both 2.2.5 and 2.3.32, i.e. if the key is
pressed twice quickly, the focus is flipped between the two last windows.
But if you use SloppyFocus or MouseFocus, you may not notice this, because
the focus returns immediately to the current window. Use ClickToFocus
focusing model to see it straight. I will update this man page sentence.

Or maybe a better example for double press should be found, since now this
example is a bit redudant, in 2.3 versions the same result is achieved
automatically using SelectOnRelease, a double click action is not needed.

Mikhael.
