Alternatively, is it possible to create a keystroke (say, using Quicken or Applescript) that I can perform no matter which application is currently active, that will make, say, the third window active?

First, it's often faster to use. Second, it can be used to carry out commands with a lot more force, especially the "sudo" command. Third, it allows you to modify preference files that can't be altered from a "Preferences" menu, and it does it in a way much easier than opening it as a text file.
