Tab switching in Firefox using the Pentadactyl addon (vim mode for Firefox).

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

This is about switching windows using only the keyboard.

Using Alt+Tab for switching windows is OK, but get's annoying with much windows. The "Present Window" is also OK since you can just type some characters (filter) to select a certain window. (However I don't use desktop effects and I dislike to see all the movement happening after triggering present windows effect).

For my often used application/windows (Browser, Mail, IRC, ...) I've assigned a shortcuts via the "Special Window Settings". But what about the application/windows that I do not use very often? Suggestions to address this issue:

Suggestion 1.
Enumerate the windows/taskbar with IDs (numbers e.g.). Then hitting Win+<a ID> will switch to the aplication/window.

Suggestion 2.
Enumerate the entries presented in the Alt+Tab window with IDs. Having this mode activated (some option somewhere in the settings), the Alt+Tab window doesn't close until ESC is hit or the user types an ID and confirms with ENTER to focus a window.

I'm used to switch buffers in vim quite easy just specifying the buffer number/id. Currently I've discovered a firefox/iceweasel plugin called Pentadactyl (a vimperator fork) which enables me to switch tabs so easily as in vim. I'm wondering why I can't switch the windows in kwin so easily too. See attachment.
