Is there a way to set up a key combination that brings up the Alt+Tab interface and leaves it up after releasing the keys, allowing to navigate between open windows with arrow keys and selecting them with the enter key?

I have a media pc set up with Kodi and steam, I would like to be able to alt-tab via a remote control so, I do not need a keyboard plugged in, but the normal Alt+Tab interface requires you to keep holding down alt to keep it up. this does not work with an IR remote.

I am able to bind any key combination I want to the IR remote using a FLIRC which is a USB IR receiver that emulates an HID device.
