Efficient window switching

In Adobe Acrobat reader, I can open 9 different files and then press alt-w and then a number to switch instantly to the numbered window. In jedit I can press alt-backtick to get the list like I can do with alt-w in Acrobat, but in jedit I then have to use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired item, or use the mouse. How do I get it to work like Acrobat, where a grand total of no more than three keystrokes (alt-backtick windownumber) will jump to a desired window?
The switchbuffer plugin doesn't appear to be what I want, because it requires too many keystrokes to switch buffers. I realize that with more than 9 windows open, I'll need more keystrokes, but I'd like to optimize for my common case of having less than 9 open.
