Once you mark all windows that should not be in the window list as
WindowListSkip, the default Alt-Tab in 2.4.x will work like you want.
You may even have 2 bindings, one for normal and one for WindowListSkip
windows:

  Key Tab A M WindowList Root c c NoDeskSort, SelectOnRelease Meta_L
  Key Tab A SM WindowList Root c c OnlyListSkip, NoDeskSort, SelectOnRelease

If you want to cycle through windows without WindowList, using Next or
Prev with possible options, you should mark the non circulated windows as
CirculationSkip, they are usually the same as the WindowListSkip ones, but
not necessarily. Say, for Ctrl-Alt-Tab:

  Key Tab A CM Prev YourFocusRaiseWarpFunction
  Key Tab A SCM Next YourFocusRaiseWarpFunction

See FAQ #3.18.
