I'd also like to request this functionality. I usually work with four terminal windows open, and switching between my code editor and the specific terminal window in which I'm running my code usually takes several keystrokes (e.g. one alt-tab to switch to the terminal application, and then one alt-` to find the correct terminal window) and at least 5 seconds of time. Contrast with the OSX-like alt-tab behavior, which takes about 1 second to find the correct terminal.

The problem is exacerbated by the alt-` graphical interface. The first alt-` shows all of the terminal windows in the current workspace, but the visual contrast between the windows is very minimal: just a slight red shadow, plus the text in the menu bar of the window. More dynamic graphics would really help, like enlarging the selected window, more color contrast (or even color vs. black and white), or blurring the non-selected windows.
