Not strictly a duplicate, I am not talking about a preview of the window but directly focusing the selected window.

Something very naive like this already works for me locally:

diff --git a/src/gui.c b/src/gui.c
index 8292d66..38868ec 100644
--- a/src/gui.c
+++ b/src/gui.c
@@ -122,6 +122,7 @@ static void drawFr(GC gc, int f)
 //
 static void framesRedraw()
 {
+    setFocus(selNdx);
     int f;
     for (f = 0; f < g.maxNdx; f++) {
         if (f == selNdx)

of course, final patch would have to be polished

This approach will not work in most environments supported by alttab.
It may function to some extent, but the outcomes will vary.
For instance, I executed this in Ratpoison and observed that the alttab dialog did not appear, which contradicts your claim about maintaining the menu open.

Similarly, composite features are problematic for analogous reasons, which is why I categorize them collectively.
