If the trigger is mod key plus navigation key (i.e. just mod key itself 
wouldn't start switcher, so you can have other shortcuts also using mod 
key), then sounds good.

IOW, like this (example based on how things work today):

mod key = alt
switch previous/next = shift-tab, tab

...so alt-tab (or alt-shift-tab) starts switcher, which stays until you 
let go of alt, as above. Navigate with tab/shift-tab. /But/ you can also 
have e.g. alt-f activates "File" menu; just pressing alt doesn't start 
the switcher.
