Hi Dave,

Yes, this does appear to be a compiz keybinding. It kind of zooms out 
all of the windows to a grid display, it seems to be similar to super+w 
(on further investigation it does all windows on one workspace, super+w 
does it across all workspaces). They are keyboard navigable and as a 
sighted user if I look really carefully I can just about make out which 
one has focus for the windows which were not maximised, for the 
maximised windows there is no indication of focus at all. In the 
compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm) in the scale plugin on the bindings 
tab (and sadly I think ccsm is a bit broken for navigation) there is the 
key binding shift+alt+up for window picker.

Alan.
