That's an excellent idea, binding Super+TAB to spatial program order.
Ability to sort through both logically and spatially are going to find their
respective uses. I would love to see it become a reality. (I need to hurry
up and learn some languages)

I want to bring up a slightly offtopic issue, that is switching between
windows of the same application. Yes, we do have tabs, but they still leave
much to be desired - there's no way to drag and drop from one folder to
another tabbed in a Nautilus window, for example. So going by the Nautilus
example, if I'm sorting through a lot of files between a no. of folders it'd
be pretty nice if I could keep my chat window out of the way when I decided
to move something.

Admittedly, that isn't a very good example, but I think a few of us are
going to be able to think up of a few cases when we want to be able to dig
through the windows of the same application. Anything planned about this?
