Let's say you have three browser windows, three terminal windows, and three file manager windows. Also, each window corresponds to a project/task, such that the logical groups are really (browser1, terminal1, files1), etc. Make sense?

Next, you want to show all of the windows from a single task, each one at the highest focus relative to all other windows of the same application.

Only being able to switch applications, rather than individual windows, makes this a tedious, manual process.

I hear you say, "just use..."

- Multiple workspaces: does not play well with changing multi-monitor setups. Does not persist across restarts. (Last time I tried anyway)

- Expose: this is not a keyboard-shortcut friendly interface. Windows-style alt-tab lists are predictable and linear, Expose window arrangements are not.

I just want the interface I already know, that works perfectly for this situation.

The multi-monitor stuff is much better now. I’d revisit. It persists for me across display configuration changes.

Thanks. In the mean time, I've started using the alt-tab tool. This makes my Mac OS experience more closely match my Linux experience, which I also find important now that I'm using both machines with the same KVM devices, on a switch.
