The potential tuning possibilities are endless. I could easily
think of a dozen different scoring algorithms or even a custom
shell script that calculates the score and is called for each
window.

The current algorithm was written to minimize surprises, but the
right one for you looks probably differently.

To sum it up, I'm certainly willing to add tuning options to the
Direction command, but my time to do it myself is limited at the
moment.
