Yes, please make it use a single modifier key. I think ALT is clearly
the best choice, and also think ALT+tab would be better than CTRL+tab
for the twitcher. ALT is already used for the workspace shortcuts.
As a bonus, this is more similar to Windows (ALT+tab), Mac OS X
(CMD+tab cycles apps, CMD+` cycles windows within app,
CMD+number/arrow switches spaces), and most X11 window managers
(ALT+tab, ALT+Fx, ALT+LMB/RMB).
With this in place, maybe window borders should be used neither for
moving nor resizing windows, but just act as a separator? For me,
moving windows by their borders only ever happens by accident, but I
use ALT+mouse all of the time in Linux.
