Proposal: Raising all windows of the same app

 

A little proposal.

Holding Ctrl (or a modifier that you find better) and pressing an icon
in the launcher, should act in the following way:

When you have only one window for the app, the behaviour is the same.

When you have multiples windows of the same app, Unity should raise all
the windows of the same app in a convenient way (raising little windows
over maximized or bigger windows). When you press again holding Ctrl,
the raise should be reseted, that is, if you have focus on a maximized
window of the app and you have other 3 little windows for that app, the
correct behaviour is to show those 3 windows over the maximized one.

An ideal behaviour also is that if you have focus on a little window and
you press Ctrl and the app icon, all the windows are raised but the
little focused window should maintain the focus (but not for bigger
windows).

What do you think about?
