I've already changed <Alt>Tab and <Shift><Alt>Tab to <Super>j and 
<Super>k. This helped a lot, but it's still way easier if I have a list of 
windows so I know how many times I'll need to hit k to get to where I'm 
looking for (i.e. I know where my target is). When all I have is a bunch 
of nearly-identical thumbnails to work with, I end up having to evaluate 
each window one-by-one, which slows me down a lot.

It's a nice feature, but I want something that I can use from the 
keyboard.

Thanks for taking the time to send out a reply!
