Well, I do have something very specific in mind. ;-) I'm highly keyboard-focused, and I have yet to figure out how to easily switch between multiple terminal windows spread across multiple virtual desktops. (E.g. five desktops each with three terminal windows.) Admittedly, I haven't tried 10.7/10.8 to see whether they've fixed my problems.
okay, so it is much more than just "remotely like" the linux feature, but you want some specific behaviors … i am fairly keyboard-focused as well, but not a purist; i am also using 10.7, so i may not know some 10.8 details
command-backtick switches among the various windows open in one app, and i use it all the time, but it won't switch to a window of the same app in another space (what Apple calls desktops); i do find that slightly frustrating, but i just switch spaces (and if the same app has windows in that space it will remain active); i usually switch spaces with control [left or right] arrow but control [number] will take you to that numbered space (you can redefine all these shortcuts)
On Linux, I use one key combo to change virtual desktops (I assign each virtual desktop an individual key combo so I can switch directly to it) and then ALT-TAB to switch between windows only in that virtual desktop. Does OSX have anything similar?
yes, that would be control-F4 — rotates among all windows in all apps within one space; if you an dig a visual approach, control-up arrow shows you all the windows in a space, and F10 shows you all windows in an app
