I would like to be able to switch windows based on their top left coord, with some modifier and arrow keys. Faster 
and simpler, at least in some situations (namely mine). I never place windows on top of each other, with xinerama and 
virtual desktops helping me. It wouldn't be nearly as helpful for people with lots of windows maximized on on screen, 
but still can be made to produce predictable results in those situations.
Just an idea.
