If anyone is following along on this shaggy dog story… quartz-wm has the
cycling of the windows hard coded with “Meta” and “grave” as the key combo to
cycle through the windows. Shift will cause the cycle to be reversed. It has
no input RC file. It does grok Apple events but there is no way to generate
them externally. Basically clicking the red dot in the upper left corner
generates an Apple event which quart-wm catches and acts upon it.
SO… I dug out my chainsaw, tweezers, bazooka, and (of course) blow torch and
changed Meta to Super in the quartz-wm source code and now I’m happy. It was
interesting because `brew install automate` was about all I had to do — oh,
except there is a bug that I needed to cobble around.
To continue this misadventure I’m going to define an xrdb file to see if I can
get xterm (both local and remote) to do copy to clipboard with Super-C and
paste with Super-V.
