| alt-~ or ctrl-~ are much better solutions since they require only one
| hand to activate whilst you can leave your hand on the mouse, and are
| something that ought to be implemented at the system level
| (GNOME/KDE/your favourite window manager)

You are of course aware that ~ is a dead key on lots of keyboards and
way less accessible than Page Up or Page Down?  (To get ~ I have to
type AltGr-¨ + Space.  Combine that with Ctrl and you have something
which is horribly hard to type.)
