This means when &lt;alt+Tab&gt;ing through your windows, you can skip over the dozen firefox windows, then dive into just your terminal windows. Generally, this works great, and I think most users don&rsquo;t have any issues.</p> <p>However, some people (myself included) use a <em>lot</em> of terminals. Some are temporary short-lived generic terminals. Others are long-lived running mail (mutt), or a main development session. Unfortunately, trying to switch to my email terminal can be cumbersome as I squint at thumbnails of 10+ other terminals.</p>
