one strange thing i noticed is this. i put this in my keys file as you
suggested:

	Mod1 F1 :NextWindow
	Mod4 Tab :NextWindow

and i can assure you they do the same BUT...

...what happens if you use only ONE line (this is what i did before)
such as:

	Mod4 Tab :NextWindow

is this: lets say you have for windows open, we name them 1..4 and you
hit your mod4 tab combo

the first time it changes from window 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 1 to 2 an so
on.

if i change the focus with the mouse to window 3 and use the same keys
again it goes from 3 to 2 to 1 to 4 to 3 and so on. it cycles the
opposite direction as if it is toggled (which is not the case somehow)

this explains why you "go back to the last focused window" which
basicly is only a :prevWindow.

i have no idea why it happens but at least this is what happens.
