Hi all,

there's a behavior of the built-in WindowList that annoys be a little
bit, as I like to move my hands as little as possible. Here's the
story:

The WindowList offers several possibilities to choose a window. Among
them:

  - Type a digit or a letter to select a specific window (1, 2, ...,
    9, A, B, ...).
  - Use the J and K keys to move around and select the current window
    with Return or Space.

This is fine if you don't have too many windows, but there comes a
time when I hit J and it's not doing what I expect: it selects the
window marked with J rather than moving down one window.

I think one way out would be to require the user to use upper case
letters when choosing windows directly. Or omit the letters J and K
(and N and P and maybe others) from the enumeration? I'm not sure
what would be the best way. Any suggestions?

tia,
kai
