I've checked alttab package project page and it looks even better than bbkeys, thank you very much for this recommendation! I think I'll try it too and probably replace bbkeys with alttab.

You can enable both Stable and Testing repos at the same time in Debian, that's what I'm personally using. Then you can install python-gtk2 (although python2 is already deprecated and I don't think it's a good idea, I've already purged python2 packages on almost all of my machines) and continue using phwmon as-is. Another option is to port it to python3 and GTK3. A quick search shows that such ports do exist, e.g. https://git.maboxlinux.org/Mabox/mabox-tools/src/branch/master/bin/phwmon.py
Probably you'll have to install some additional dependencies, I didn't try it yet but I think it's python3-gi-cairo.
