This brings up another annoyance that I have seen in my use of elementary. When I use Luna, I use it on a laptop. I like to perform most of my actions using the keyboard if I can. However, when I use the "expose all windows" shortcut [Super + w], I have to move my hand to the touchpad/mouse in order to select the window I want.
I believe there should be an easy way (arrow keys, or the like) to select the window I want and then press enter/space/something to bring it to the front. I haven't discovered anything for it yet, unless you guys snuck it into a newer daily image. If everyone agrees, I can open a bug for it. Sorry for adding yet another thing to the list.

This isn't as big a problem on a laptop as most laptops have semi-decent trackpads right below the keyboard; however, on a typical desktop, this is a real irritation. Under older versions of Ubuntu (the ones that used the compiz cube by default) I liked being able to hold ctrl+alt and then click/drag to change workspaces; however, that still requires moving one hand to the keyboard which still feels tedious if your hand isn't there already. I propose coming up with a solution. It may not seem like a big deal, but if you're like me (having one application open per workspace) this can be a real annoyance.
