I'm normally working from a windows-7 desktop where I can mouse-over
the collapsed task bar icons to pop up the view of running windows for
that app and select one, so I seldom alt-tab through the whole mess.

Mostly just too lazy to close windows if there there is a fair chance
I'll need them again in the next month or so...

That's what I was hoping someone could supply.

Yes, that's a much better idea. 100% of the time I hit capslock I'm
really going for the tab key, usually to auto-expand something on the
command line.  Maybe there is something to just remap it.
