Created attachment 154433 [details] A screenshot of the window switcher with a fancy red highlight to maximize coolness factor. Add an option to completely remove or at least disable tabbing in the right pane of the window switcher popup that comes up on CTRL+TAB. I personally never use CTRL+TAB to get anywhere except another editor tab - and having to tab past all of the non-editor windows in some situations (cause it's still faster than going the "long way around") is inconvenient. While I understand that being able to tab to these windows may be very convenient to some, I also believe there are many like myself who never does so. Therefore I suggest adding an option to control the behaviour. It could remove the pane completely (basically the way it worked prior to 7.2 I believe), or it could just take them out of the actual tab-order (ie. leave them there, available for mouse interaction).
