switch-frame is produced when the Alt key is pressed (as soon as it is
pressed, i.e. before the 'Y' is pressed). i can verify this by running
'read-event`, which triggers and produces switch-frame as soon as Alt is
pressed. Conversely, the event is still generated even if I disable both
my mouse and trackpad, the only things which can produce mouse motion.

I'm not averse to rebuilding emacs (I built the current version I'm
using), if it could help.
I was trying to explore emacs input. One thing I've realized is that xev
(i.e. if I monitor emacs using 'xev -id ...') does not see most keys
(e.g. alphanumeric keys, Ctrl, shift) sent to emacs but it does see when
Alt (or the Windows key) is pressed. So some keys are "special". I wish
I knew about how emacs set this up.
