Few additional notes:
General thing -- except for the desktop, you cannot have overlapping
windows. So the issues with spatial nav. is only related to desktop
really.
When discussing things at first about GAI we assumed (agreed) that we
could switch windows that are embedded. However with introduction of
TAI and mixed mode, we should revise this I think. i.e. having
* Kate
* GAI(Konq,Konsole)
Konsole is active, I am able to alt-tab switch to Kate<->GAI(Konsole)
but not Konq. If I would like to switch to Konq from Kate I have to
use another shortcuts, or combine them.
Why is that -- just image Konq. with 20 tabs and all of them being
listed in the alt-tab taks list.
Polishing, and continuation (one crash when editing the previous mail,
the second crash while editing this continuation, gee)...

A little easier to memorize I think.

Examples (for the sake of clarity, no wrapping _here_) -- I was
thinking left, I wrote right, it didn't make any sense. So, correct
version:
K1_1 (starting point)
b K1_2
b K1_2 (no fall off)
e K1_1
e K1_2
j K2_1 (K2 is activated and it passes (?) focus to its child)
g K1_2 (single keystroke, i.e. quick-switch)
m K1
* and further *
n K1_2
j K2_1
j Kate
i K2_1
b K2_2
b K2_2 (no fall off)
j Kate
Cheers,
