Yes you do get window cycling, unless you are using option SwitchPanelOnlyOpen = YES; in your WindowMaker config file. > When you work with switch panel activated, you > get additional visual element, which doesn't > change the base logic of the action, but > provides additional controls. And by default you also get window cycling.

These days, I rely on this feature. :) Here is the what NEWS file for 0.95.5 says about switchpanel: ---BEGIN--- To maintain consistency with other popular operating systems, the switchpanel is now configured so that it no longer automatically closes when the shift key is pressed and released. To configure the switchpanel so that it does close on release of the shift key, which was the traditional Window Maker behavior, run the following command: $ wdwrite WindowMaker StrictWindozeCycling NO If you find yourself regularly opening the switchpanel just to visualize open windows, you can run the following command to force the first "FocusNextKey" or similar shortcut to open the panel without switching to a new window. $ wdwrite WindowMaker SwitchPanelOnlyOpen YES ---END--- > > different text for the new preference because > > "Show switch panel when switching windows" is a > > bit weird.
