However, this is exactly what I want. I want to be able to move to a new space, click on terminal then do Apple + N to create a new window right in that space. Before, I had to go to an open space with a terminal, do Apple + N there, then manually move the window into the new space. You can still move to the space with the open window by clicking twice on the dock icon. Almost all the time I have 5-6 spaces each with a copy of a 4-tabbed terminal, FF3, and textmate. Glad to hear you appreciate Thomas Sowell! He's a gem who is rarely properly recognized. I would highly recommend you try an application called "Witch" which is another application switcher that I use to move only within windows in the same space. Hard to explain but once you install it and start using it I'm sure you'll find ways for it to improve your workflow/productivity navigating spaces.

Sometimes, when switching to Safari using the standard AppleKey-Tab shortcut, it doesn't move to the space with the open window. Great Blog Ben...I'm an aspiring web developer/entrepreneur of sorts. I also enjoy your respect for Sowell in RepsectCaptialism. I certainly wouldn't agree with everything Sowell stands for (when do two people always agree?), I find him to be a force for true openness in the academic world.
