_ALTERNATIVE IMPLEMENTATION_

Users can additionally press

(some key)+(1 to 0)

[analogous to Super+(1 to 0) for switching between applications]

to switch to the desired window.

Apps in the launcher are persistent and placed by the user. So the Super-<n> convention is workable. But windows are ephemeral, not "placed" by the user. So <key>-3 today won't give you the same window as <key>-3 tomorrow. So there's no memory, no chance of it being usable.

Interesting idea, but let's come up with a few more interesting ideas :)

I generally agree that window switching isn't as slick as it could be, so I'm open to ideas; just not this one.
