Armelius,
First of all, I want to thank everyone who responded. I can and will use EVERY tidbit of
information! Thank you.
You suggested that I look in "System-Settings --> Keyboard and Mouse --> Global
keyboard Shortcuts" for keyboard mappings. This menu does exist; it's where I was
looking for "raise" and "toggle raise/lower". I see settings for
alt-up and alt-down. There is nothing about raise a window or toggle raise/lower a window
as in 3.5. I'm not sure I understand how this works though. Did this get lost in the
new development?
Regards,
George...

Jaroslav,
Thanks for your responses.
When I say "widget" I think of the X11 term, is that the right word? Like
the xterm? Like the browser? Like any "thing" that is displayed by the
window manager. With KDE 3.5 I was able to map alt-up to raise a "thing"
(widget sounds so much more elegant) which isn't all that exciting, the
alt-down key sequence I had mapped to the toggle raise and lower. I used
this a lot. Is it gone now? I know that there are other ways to get a
"thing" to come to the top but I got used to the alt- sequences. Are they
gone now?
What you called "widget" is much more commonly refered as "Window".
"Widget"
has different meaning in KDE 4.
You can try to set that shortcut via
System-Settings --> Keyboard and Mouse --> Global keyboard Shortcuts
KDE Component: KWin
you can search for Raise window
(haven't tried this myself, but this seems to be what you want).
Hope that helps.
