Hello,

I'm glad that this is good news to you. It was not intended to be an 
accessibility feature but somehow it is. If you have a mobile phone in 
one hand and a drink in the other hand you could still navigate between 
windows with your nose...  I also plan to make a configurable zoom 
factor for the selected window which might be a help for people with bad 
eyes.

Cheers Paul
