Hiya! Simple Window switching be huge boon to folks with disabilities. i
was only going to read this list, but this idea is far too useful to let go
by. I'm a guy with a physical disability who types & runs computers, over
23 years, with a headwand now on a standard Windows style keyboard [image
on http://www.opera.com/press/guides/operapower gives idea of how i work]
Now i do Alt-W [for Window] then a number to switch Windows. Taking Nuno's
tabs concept and giving it an easy keyboard command will much improve
keyboard usability [grin] Multiple Document Interface programs give users a
means to switch Windows without checking where they are. Having Windows
grouped together will really make it easy to switch between programs or
windows also! It'd be a great addition, now I'll let you folks get back to
coding
