hum... why don't you use the shift+Fxx shortcuts? most of the window
types are
available through this. from shift F4 to shift F12, it's even faster
than clicking
on the icon (I never used it really BTW)

I'm not so sure about it, it could be tried out, but IMHO, it'd be
redundant with the other
2 current switching modes?
