"New answer
I have been messing around for the past hour or so in order to come up with a solution, but I am stumped. What I have managed to do is make a macro that does Alt+Tab, then sends an additional Tab every two seconds... But I have no idea on how to terminate the script when you have had enough. (You only need to tap a key once to start)
I am wondering if any macro/Linux gurus can make a second macro or script that can terminate the macro from playing upon request - This simply works when you press one key and let go.
In Ubuntu, start by going to terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install xmacro
(Now, I am not the best Linux guy, but I am clueless as to why I couldn't find this in synaptic package manager, but I had to type it from the terminal).
Next, The script I made is (save this somewhere, I called it test.macro in my home directory)
KeyStrPress Alt_L
Then, copy and paste the following as many times as you want:
KeyStrPress Tab
KeyStrRelease Tab
Delay 2
To run this, you need to type the following (from the place that the macro is saved):
cat test.macro | xmacroplay "":0.0""
I created an alias/hotkey to the above command.
Again, This is not a solution, but hopefully a start point. I got close but after spending a lot of time, I cannot come up with a solid solution. Sorry, but hopefully this will get you closer.
OLD ANSWER
As far as I know, it isn't possible.
I looked in various config files but cannot find a good way to replicate Alt+Tab due to the way it works.
Simply put, you need to hold one down whilst the other does the switching.
What I recommend you do and I can look in to it for you if you want, is to write a macro that automatically, upon one key being pressed, does Alt+Tab, then sends another Tab every couple of seconds. Letting go simply releases on the application currently selected."
