Hmm, I agree with you that making hard-coded assumptions is a badbadbad
and should be avoided. I think that we can do without the
keypress-to-send-to-thisorthat-workspace, but next/prev I think is
useful.
Further if we are going to make assumptions, who does really use more
than 10-12 workspaces, I rarely use more than 4-5, except possibly
for storing log monitors.
I feel that the only thing that blackbox misses (hmm, okay I'm
refering to bbkeys, I count it as a part of the bb i-face)
is the ability to control windows further.
Moving is of course the optional, I would love to be able to
do moving with arrow keys (or whatever I chose) while coding
or writing. (Okay, so I -know- that it has been discussed before)
