@ willheslam: I see. In this case it seems reasonable to wait for "The Spread" (which I hope will address this and many other usability concerns) to give us a more definite solution coherent with the overall experience of the shell.

If the costs of implementing this feature are not reasonable, considering that "The Spread" addresses the same issue, then my suggestion would be to simply use the configuration you suggested at message #3 as default. Having a new default configuration should be something simple to implement.

Although the issue we are discussing here at first may look as a minor usability difficulty, my understanding about the philosophy behind Unit is that users will be encouraged to make better use of their keyboards to navigate through the desktop (mostly via <super>). Then it seems reasonable that <super> + <w> will be followed by window selection made using the keyboard.
