That's sexy - I think its definitely a good idea for Rails-specific IDEs 
to allow Model -> Schema view -> Model transition hot keys.

I use RadRails and it supports Model -> Unit Test -> Model windows via 
Shift-Ctrl-V. Perhaps I'll see I can get them to add a Model -> Schema 
View -> Model transitions on Shift-Ctrl-S or something.
