  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * When we get a launcher key press (ie. super key). We check if the
    command lens is open. If it is then just switch the lens to the home
    lens. This way we dont close the dash. (LP: #1108956)

  * New rebuild forced.

  [ Gerry Boland ]
  * SwitcherController: add first selection mode property, to decide
    what to select at first (LP: #998285)

Title:
  alt+backtick doesn't focus on selected one of many windows previously
  clicked

Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This a user experience issue and easily reproducible.

  Open multiple instances of your favorite application. Then click on
  Unity's icon for the app when you are already focused on one instance
  of it. This opens up a tile of the instances of the application which
  you can select from with the mouse.

  Now while that tile is shown, use ATL+backtick to select the window
  you want instead of clicking with the mouse. The result is that the
  tile window doesn't go away.

  If you use ALT+backtick and switch to ALT+tab (or start from ALT+tab
  from the start) and select another kind of application, then the tile
  goes away correctly and the other application comes in the front.

  I can verify that the window you would select with ALT+backtick does
  actually get to the top of the view and is marked as the "last visited
  instance", because if you switch to another application (using
  ALT+tab) and click back on the group of the original application you
  would see the one you previously selected with ALT+backtick.

  ---

  Here are step-by-step instructions.

  - Open a couple of terminals
  - Open firefox
  - Click on the terminal icon
    * This should open a tile showing the various terminal windows you have open
    * If that doesn't happen, click again (you were not on a terminal window before)
  - Use ALT+backtick to select one of the terminal windows

  Expected behavior: The tile of terminals goes away and the selected
  terminal is focused

  Observed behavior: The tile of terminals stays on the screen
