[Bug 1436591] [NEW] Launcher needs a 'Show All Windows' option

 

Public bug reported:

 All applications with a Launcher icon have a set of standard commands,
such as "Unlock from Launcher" and "Quit". They should all have a "Show
All Windows" command as well.

It is really bothersome when I have Terminal open and click on the
Launcher icon and I see one window come forward. I may have 6 or 7
windows, but I have to go to each one in turn to bring it forward. I
know that I can see the titles of all the windows and I can see the
"zoomed out" view of all the windows. But I actually want to bring all
the windows of an application to the front and I cannot.

Please consider adding this feature.
