Still no luck with this :-( So, I untarred the source and began exploring.
After a bit of study and a few experiments printing status to stderr, I've
found that the following line does what I want:
Key Tab A M WindowList Root c c CurrentDesk, NoGeometry, SelectOnRelease Meta_R
where I've just picked Meta_R because at least it's not Meta_L (which is the
Alt key I want to use) - I suppose anything that's not Meta_L will work.
There is certainly some SelectOnRelease processing in the MenuStyle handler,
but that didn't want to play ball. I printed out the 'before' and 'after'
keycode values and it was showing zero for both for some reason. Maybe there
is unitialised state for the 'before' value - I'd have expected it to be the
keycode for Meta_L (the compiled in default).
Anyway, problem solved (for me anyway). Thanks to those who sent me
suggestions to try.
