If you prefer the keyboard, why not just use the 'menu-window' function which
lets you display a list of currently open windows and navigate them using the
cursor-up or cursor-down keys.

By default the menu displays no entries and expects you to either start typing
a search string or hit control-a to display all windows.

The following trivial diff inverts that logic to display the list without the
need to explicitly hit control-a:
