Sorry I don't have an answer to your question, I just wanted to say there should be no need to usurp Command+w, there was already a package for switching windows that used (I think) Command+< and/or Command+> to switch windows..
Command+w is heavily used for selecting (or deleting) the previous word. It's also used to close windows. So not a good choice to overload with something else..

Subject: Detecting keyUp for modifier keys
Hello,
On 3.9, there's this cute new Morph called WindowSwitcher which implements a Windows-like alt-tab popup for selecting open windows. To activate it, press alt-w.
However, there's a bug.
The pop up will only go away during a keyUp event when neither the control key nor the command key is pressed (see WindowSwitcher>>keyUp:), however, I never see a keyUp event when the command key is released on my machines running Linux. So, for now, you have to do:
alt-w "activate the pop-up"
w.. w.. w "pick the window before the one you want"
release alt "no effect"
w "move to the desired window, and close the popup"
Is there a reason why keyUp: is not sent when I release the command key (or control, or shift for that matter)? Is this a VM bug? If it is, does this mean it is also happening on other platforms?
One other thing I noticed. InputSensor only implements Pressed methods for the modifier keys, but not Released, is that the cause of the problem?
Duncan.
