Sorry for the silly question: Earlier you said that

  In Ubuntu, if I have two frames open and the mouse is positioned over
  the other frame (i.e. not over the active one), pressing the Alt key
  produces a <switch-frame> event.

and now you say that "the event is still generated even if I disable
both my mouse and trackpad".  How can you position the mouse when you
disable it?
