You might want to get an overview and then select
all windows of a certain type. You'd do that by using
super+num-num. So that is a useful feature. When you
do get the overview of all windows of a given app, then
you might want to quickly select one of them. That's
when you'd use alt+num, like you do to access a given
tab in Firefox, for instance.

I don't think this would be confusing at all, specially
since I propose that the items be given a number
to show how you can switch to them. It would be more
didatic than how tabs work in Firefox.
