Bug Description

After I press Super+num of the currently running application the window goes into expos'e like overview mode. From this point there is no way to escape that with keyboard shortcut - same Super+num does nothing. Esc, Enter also have no effect and so I am required to reach to the mouse. It's irritating.

Would be good if pressing the same key combo or Esc should return to the normal mode.

I don't think we can fix this pre-Maverick, but I want to capture the
desired behaviour as:

  - keyboard arrows allow moving the focus from window to window
  - enter or space exits the expose bringing the focused window to the
foreground with focus
  - escape exits expose, restoring focus to the window that had it when
expose was entered

Esc in spread closes spread and shows the last active window. The other things mark mentioned form part of the spec.
