Coincidentally, I just installed *Witch* and this was my first question 
that was not answered in the Help.

Put me down as requesting the ability to use Witch to switch between Safari 
tabs (MRU-style, please!).

As a work-around, you can disable tabs in Safari (and probably other 
browsers).  I am experimenting with this.  So far, it seems OK.  I am so 
used to tabs (and the tab bar) that I miss them, but being able to use 
"{Command}+{Tilde}" to switch back and forth between two tabs makes it 
worthwhile (to me).  It retains the usability of Mission Control, and it 
makes App Exposé work even better.  I have had my machine set up this way 
for only an hour, but it seems to be a good improvement.

It's still on our list to investigate for Witch 4, but the challenges lie in two areas: the user interface could get complicated (think of a user with two browsers each showing 15 tabs), and (worse) there's no system-wide convention for tabs, so we'll have to hand-support each browser (and non-browser app with tabs) that we'd like to put into Witch -- and we don't know how technically feasible that is just yet.

A long time ago, it was suggested that Witch might gain the ability to list 
and switch between tabs, as well as windows. Is that still a possibility? I 
would dearly love to see it happen!
