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

[Lukasz Grabowski]

all I can see is that you use <action ... /> and I use <action...> ...
</action>, but I don't know if it's relevant. Perhaps you could
copy-paste my keybinding for A-S-Tab and see if it does what you want:
<keybind key="A-S-Tab">
<action name="PreviousWindow">
<interactive>no</interactive>
<dialog>none</dialog>
</action>
</keybind>

Best, L
