            Bug ID: 496208
           Summary: Meta+0-9 shortcut should cycle through windows when
                    using clicking grouped task shows small window
                    previews
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: master
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager

  Target Milestone: 1.0

When using Clicking grouped task: Shows small window previews on icons only
task manager, using super+0-9 on an app that has multiple windows currently
only shows the previews and does not focus any of them. Pressing the shortcut
again simply closes the previews. There is no way to navigate these previews
using the keyboard. The way it should behave is when you repeatedly press the
shortcut (i.e. super+1), it should focus the first window and then cycle
through the 2nd, 3rd, etc window.

This would emulate the behaviour of Windows 7+ and Dash to Panel/Dock on GNOME,
which would be good for those migrating from those desktops, as well as be a
new accessibility feature as selecting one of the window previews currently
*requires* the mouse.

I've been using Plasma for a very long time and I still repeatedly press
super+2 to attempt to cycle my Firefox windows before realising "oh yeah, this
isn't Windows" and find it incredibly frustrating to have to take my hand off
my keyboard to do such a basic task before putting my hand right back to my
keyboard after I've selected the window i want.
