No, I really want to just lower the window.  It's one of my favorite  
things about UNIX and X, and my favorite Windows hack.

Surely someone has done it for OS X.  I think the old MacOS had it.

I also like rolling up windows at times.

I've been told about that, but sitting here right now, it only moves  
through the windows of the current application.

That's OK to get the job done I guess, but there are times when I  
really rather have a "move through all windows" key.

I'll get used to it.
