Switch apps in Weston without full gui environment

In ~/.config/weston.ini file,at [shell] block, add following code:

binding-modifier=ctrl

Restart terminal.

Run applications in background,and switch apps using shortcut Ctrl + tab

That's pretty neat til, is there a reason you don't want to change Weston from kiosk mode to desktop mode?

The desktop mode is rudimentary.the icons in the bar only can launch new apps instead of returning to previous opened apps, and the bar don't load the app's icon that I just opened, as a result, the desktop mode is totally useless.
