This leaves the general problem unaddressed -- how do I switch directly
between, say, the 3d and the 11th document loaded? For any of a dozen
reasons, I may want many documents open simultaneously, but need to
ping-pong between two documents to get some job done (e.g., properly order
points). Loading documents in the "proper" order is possible but usually
inconvenient (on long projects, I do make an external file list and use it
[lyx `cat filelist`&] to load files -- but not on the odd daily task). I
want to focus on the work, and forget the technology until something
breaks.  Cntrl-PgUp/Dn means monitoring the screen for the right document.  
Something like Alt-3/Alt-11 (Woops, too complex!), something like
Cntrl-C/Cntrl-B that returns me to the "last buffer visited" works.

I looked for such a function in the bindings list in the customization
bindings appendix and do not find one. Maybe I missed it. This feature
could save many interruptions to users' creative tasks.
