Title:
  Alt + arrows keys in task switching between windows of same
  application

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When using Alt + Tab, pressing Alt + arrows moves to others
  applications.

  When using Alt + Tab, if entering the application-spread (by pausing
  or using Alt + down), pressing Alt + left/right arrows will move to
  previous/next windows of the selected application. If there are not
  more windows of that application, the next application is selected,
  and so on.

  But when using Alt + <key above Tab>, pressing Alt + left/right arrows
  will move to next application. To move between the windows of the
  application, I have to press Alt + down arrow first.

  Desired behavior: pressing Alt + left/right arrows after entering to
  application-spread mode with Alt + <key above Tab> should move between
  windows of that application, without pressing Alt + down arrow first,
  because the application-spread mode is already selected.

  P.S. Another solution should be mapping Alt + left/right arrows to
  move between applications only, and Alt + up/down arrows to move
  between windows of the same application (and not using them to
  enter/leave the application-spread). The current behavior is really
  complicated.
