Why don't you use one of the olden and golden wm's for that? i3 doesn't have alt-tab

sure it does

    bindsym $mod+Tab exec --no-startup-id rofi -show window
Rofi is great, but it's still adding several extra keystrokes for something that alt-tab essentially does in 2 (alt, hold tab till you get to a window you want, release to go to it. on rofi, you'd have to press alt-tab to invoke the window dialog, then type a portion of window name or navigate down to it, then press enter) .

madness :) I could never manage to get to my window like that, it's alt + tab tab tab tab tab tab tab until I get where I want when on windows vs alt + tab down down down down on rofi so I don't see a lot of difference

Haha, fair enough. Also turns out tab tab tab tab works on rofi -show window (my fault for not using it much hence not knowing) so maybe it's not all that different after all!
