I learned to do all window switching in two ways: with the Windows
menu, or with the directional focus keybindings. This almost always
gets me to the target window in 3 keystrokes, in a few cases I may
need 4.

Good it works for you but for my use cases this is just not quick
enough (say I work in a latex editor, I want to very quickly switch to
firefox to look up an obscure amstex environment syntax, then go back).
When there are just two windows and both are on the same desktop then
the standard alt+tab is obviously quick enough, but usually I'd have at
least 3 windows (say pdf viewer with a compiled pdf) and then having a
chord for switching to firefox is the way to go imo.

If you keep firefox on another virtual desktop, then using the go to
desktop action with a specific number is very easy, or the one that
goes to the last visited desktop.

<p>+1 for a simple solution that is pretty close to op's
requirements, requires minimal habit changing and Just Works with
Openbox.</p>
<p>One problem remains though: using the same keybind to <b>switch
back </b>to where one came from.<br>
</p>
<p>Lukasz: I am pretty sure that your particular scenario would
require a script, in other words openbox cannot do it as such.</p>
<p>but then i'm also not so familiar with all openbox's (newer)
features; which brings up an important question: which openbox
version are you using?</p>
<p>also it would be nice to see how you achieve what you have atm!<br>
