10.5: Use Witch to switch between apps in a single Space System 10.5
Using Witch, you can swap between only the applications that are active in the current Space.

In the Witch preference pane, go to the Behaviour tab and make sure that 'Show an "Activate" item for windowless/hidden applications' is disabled. Now when tabbing through windows in Witch, only the applications in the current Space will be available.

This almost makes Spaces usable for me (Command+tab causing unpredictable jumps between space is annoying)
But, is there a way to stop iTunes showing up in all spaces (Even though it's only visible in one)? I've added iTunes to the Witch ignore-windows-list, but that stops it showing when it's supposed too..

Just noticed a useful thing in Witch, when you hit alt+tab, hold alt, and hit m and it'll minimize the window without switching to it, z will zoom and w will close it (once you deactivate Witch, so it's harder to accidently close a window).

If someone could temporarily upload this to rapidshare or some similar filehosting service(or even message me about emailing it directly) it would be much appreciated. The link to download it has been dead, at least since yesterday evening, and I was just saying that I wish leopard organized spaces in this way.

Link's alive for me. Not really into being a mirror right now. Try it again.

Don't use it. It apparently uses old, outdated API's that can slow down the entire system (look at console.app when you launch it). I've repeatedly tried to contact the author, over a six month time frame, and have not received any response.
