Suggested alternatives would be welcome; it doesn't necessarily have  
to be the same on all platforms, although uniformity does make it  
easier for people who use more than one (or interact with others on

possibility? (We can't use the corresponding Cmd-TAB on the Mac,  
though, as that is the OS X shortcut to switch between programs.)
