Bug Description
I love many new things about the new Switcher, and have been loyally trying to use it and enjoy it over the last few days.
However, I really, really need a way of switching between windows or apps on the same desktop. Using Scale to get a view of windows on a desktop is just too slow and too mousey.
It doesn't have to be Alt-Tab, although truly that would be easiest for my eighteen year old muscle memory, but it does have to be a key I can quickly hit.
My main use case, fwiw, is switching rapidly between my text editor and the terminal that I use to run tests and do other programmerly things.

I am trying Unity instead of my usual XFCE based setup today. Switching between windows on one desktop is important for me as I have terminals where I build packages and gvim windows where I edit them. With default setup when I want to switch terminal<>gvim I end in firefox instead.
