Re: omit current window on scroll in split-screen -> scroll through windows in history order

[Jonathan Martin]

I also regularly max out the number of windows, and even worse, I 
changed the maximum number of windows to 40 in the source before 
compiling (MAXWIN if I remember correctly). I found that renumbering 
the windows helps, grouping similar windows together so scrolling 
between isn't as long.

I've toyed with the idea of hacking the code to make 2 or 3 columns of 
windows in the window list, so you could scroll around easier. What 
would be really nice would be an auto-complete type of system. So say 
you have windows "abc" "apple" and "annotations".. you hit <cmd> " 
which brings up the window list, then you type A P <enter> and it 
selects the window "apple."
