Coming out of discussion of the gretl-quartz build for Mac, it seemed

have a keyboard shortcut for switching between gretl windows.
I've now implemented this in CVS and snapshots. On the Mac it's bound to
command+` (accent grave). On other platforms it's bound to Ctrl+` at
present.
For non-Mac users: this is basically like a within-application version of
Alt-Tab. If anyone has ideas for a more idiomatic binding for Windows
and/or X11, please say.
On the standard Italian keyboard, the '`' character is unavailable.
Fortunately X users can use the AltGr-' combo to have it, but the poor
Windows souls have to rely on some other way. Instead of Crtl+`, couldn't
we use Alt-PgUp/Alt-PgDn (or Alt-leftarrow/Alt-rightarrow)? At least on
the window manager I'm using at the moment (xfwm4) these don't seem to be
'taken', and having two has the nice effect of being able to go back and
forth. I don't know about windows and/or other window managers under X.
Anyone?
