  wKeys is a little input handler utility that is used to depth arrange
and activate windows and screens. It is configurable, although I've
never bothered to change the default assignments since I find them quite
convenient (they use RAmiga-cursor and RAmiga-shift-cursor keys, allowing
things to be controlled from a nice tight grouping of keys with one hand).
The big thing that I like about wKeys is that when you bring a new
screen to the front or push one to the back, it automagically activates
the frontmost window on the new front screen. {Occaisionally this
fails. Most notably it fails if I push a CED screen to the back after
CED has put up a requester}. This feature has drastically reduced the
number of times I have to reach for the mouse!

  Afraid I can't remember the author. I have wKeys v2 at home and 
could post it, but it's been out for quite awhile and I imagine that
it is at an ftp site somewhere.
