I think it would be a good idea as well, especially if you have two
applications open.
As an example, I had the recorder and the word processor open. Instead
of a simple command to switch between the two, I opened the task
manager, then switched from the recorder to the word processor. Now, I
know I could have alternately returned to the applications menu, then
launched the word processor, but I used the task manager instead. In
either case, both ways are a little slow. The fastest way would be to
load the word processor with the hotkey used with the dock, then I
could have switched from the recorder to the word processor, but I
didn't have the docking station on hand.
In short, I would like a hotkey similar to alt+tab in windows to
switch between applications.
Another feature I would like to have is wrapping menus, or, at least,
the option for them. There are times when I know something is at the
bottom of a menu, and I don't remember the number for it, so I have to
go to the bottom by holding the down arrow, or pressing it until I'm
there. I would like to have the ability to hit the up arrow from the
top of a menu, then wrap to the bottom, and do the opposite when at
the bottom of a menu.
