Another method of switching Terminal windows

I discovered this hint whilst remotely setting up an LDAP server. I had several Terminal windows open and was using emacs in one of them. I inadvertently hit Command-Right Arrow, thinking it would get me to the end of the next word as it does in Carbon Emacs. Instead, it actually moved the focus to the next Terminal window that I had open (and Command-Left Arrow moved it back).

As this isn't documented in the Window » Next Terminal and Previous Terminal commands (they list Command-Backtick and Command-Tilde), I thought this might be a useful keystroke for those people who use lots of terminals every day. I find it much more convenient than stretching for the default shortcuts, or even Command-1, Command-2, etc. I hope it helps someone else.
