I don't mean any concrete combination of hotkeys because it's user
configurable and I don't know your configuration.

For example this is my config:

[HOTKEYS]
Ungrab = 0:0x80

This is right control key (the default of VirtualBox, FYI).

It does work, just make sure you're pressing the hotkey that you have
configured (in the GUI SETUP check the HOTKEYS).

Again, it does work and is unrelated to Clocky.

I will need to talk more slowly so you get me right, at last:

1) ARAnyM has no flaws related to Alt+Tab
2) I don't want to force anybody to do anything
3) I know that die-hard Atari users don't like ARAnyM so I entered this
thread to explain you that it can/will seriously upset some Atari users
if they find out that the natural keyboard combination for GEM window
switching (Alt+Tab) was not used because of you developing XaAES under
ARAnyM running on Microsoft Windows...

Please let me know whether the CVS version fixes the crash with stack
dump.
