Poking through the source a bit, I managed to do what I wanted. If
anyone else is interested:
In my .Xmodmap:
,----
| keycode 64 = Alt_L Meta_L
| keycode 115 = Hyper_L
| keycode 116 = Hyper_R
|
| clear Mod1
| clear Mod4
|
| add Mod1 = Alt_L
| add Mod4 = Hyper_L
`----
The important bit is setting up Hyper_L (which I mapped to the left
"Windows" Key) as Modifier 4. Then I can use the following in my feel
file:
,----
| Key Tab A 4 WarpFore
| Key Tab A S4 WarpBack
`----
Now I can use Win+Tab to switch between windows.
Seems you can use numbers corresponding to modifiers in addition to
N,C,S,M and A in the config file.
Caution: This works for _my_ keyboard, which uses "XkbModel" "pc105"
and "XkbLayout" "de". YMMV.
