Option 1 Sounds great! I always like the idea of switching between Apps instead of switching between windows. Though it is time consuming, but still that is my favorite option.

Sorry, guys, I should have realised that you probably don't spend a lot of time with Win/Mac.
So a slightly different question...
When using Alt-Tab for switching between windows, would you like windows of a particular app grouped under that app?
So, for example, you have 3 Firefox windows, 2 email windows and 1 IRC window open.
Do you want Alt-Tab to show you:
Option 1 - Firefox icon, Email client icon, IRC client icon. You select one to view its individual windows (this is the Mac way, and seems to be the Gnome 3 way too now).
or
Option 2 - 3 Firefox windows (with Firefox icon on corner of each), 2 email windows (with icons) and 1 IRC window (with icon). You can access each window directly (this is pretty much the current implementation and also the Win way).
Back to you...

Hello Ayatana guys! Just wanted to get some opinions...
I'm looking into making improvements to task/application switching on the desktop with Alt-Tab. There are slightly different approaches currently for Windows 7 and Mac.
Personally I like the Windows way, as the window preview in the background helps me find exactly what I'm looking for. I can easily switch back and forth between 2 apps, and I can also see which window is part of which app.
I can see that the app-based approach in Mac isn't a bad thing, but without the window preview, I'm not sure how this approach would scale to smaller screens.
Any thoughts on this, and what would be good for Unity?
Regards,
Pippa
