    alternate-tab: optionally highlight selected window in workspace&icons mode
    
    Optionally, bring the selected window to front before dismissing
    the popup, in a manner similar to cycle-windows keybinding (but
    without the rendering artifacts, and without application grouping).
    
    Based on a patch by Pallai Roland <dap magex hu>
