2) When I ALT-TAB once and release ALT and TAB, I like to go back to the previous window in the stack instead of going forward again, is this possible ?

don't understand the request

I think the OP is asking for what keys you should press focus the previous window.

Dear OP, have you tried mod-shift-tab, as specified in the manual page of xmonad?

(alt-shift-tab, if alt is your mod key).

I do understand what the OP wants. You press Alt-Tab (but don't release) - xmonad switches to another workspace you want just to take look, e.g. if gcc has finished compiling, then you release Alt-Tab and return to the original workspace. That would save extra Alt-Tab press. Could be useful, I agree, but not sure how to implement it. -- Cheers, Sergey
