> 1) When a user hits Super-W, his/her hands are on the keyboard
> 2) After that, the user needs to move his/her hand to the mouse to click
> on the right thumb.

> THE EXPECTED/SUGGESTED BEHAVIOR

> 2) After hitting Super-W, the user should select the right
> thumb/application using the key arrows from the keyboard.
> This behavior would be more productive because, in this momentt, the user
> already have his/her hands on the keyboard.
>
> I know it's already possible.
> The real problem is the visibility of the hover thumb. It's too difficult
> to know what thumb is on focus.
> So I'm forced to choose to mouse selection.
>
> My suggestion is the thumb on focus would be more visible.
> I think showing a colored (orange?) frame around the thumb on focus would
> be a good behavior.
