[openbox] Is there a way to remove the "Focus Dialog" (alt-tab)?

reconfigure should be enough.

I use alt-tab to have switching between two windows without any dialog
and alt-ctrl-tab to switch with a dialog. AFAI understand in my setup
A-S-Tab does what you want.

    <keybind key="C-A-Tab">
      <action name="NextWindow">
        <finalactions>
          <action name="Focus"/>
          <action name="Raise"/>
          <action name="Unshade"/>
        </finalactions>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="C-A-S-Tab">
      <action name="PreviousWindow">
        <finalactions>
          <action name="Focus"/>
          <action name="Raise"/>
          <action name="Unshade"/>
        </finalactions>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="A-Tab">
      <action name="NextWindow">
      <interactive>no</interactive>
      <dialog>none</dialog>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="A-S-Tab">
      <action name="PreviousWindow">
      <interactive>no</interactive>
      <dialog>none</dialog>
      </action>
    </keybind>
