The window list is a gnome-panel applet. Add it to a Gnome panel and
you're done. It essentially is the taskbar. I'm not aware of any
keyboard shortcuts that are specific to it, so as you said, it would be
less efficient for you.
It has the option of listing all your windows across all workspaces or
to only list windows in your current workspace. If the "all workspaces"
option is chosen, clicking on a window listing whose window resides in a
workspace different from the current workspace switches you to that
workspace and bring the selected window to the top.
In my case with metacity as the window manager, Alt-Tab allows me to
cycle/select windows within the current workspace, while Alt-Ctrl-Left
and Alt-Ctrl-Right switch workspaces.
HTH.
