[Damián Nohales <damiannohales@xxxxxxxxx>]

What I want to mean is the following...

First, I can't find a way to show all the windows of the same app, this
is the purpose of this feature.

I thought that user must hold Ctrl and click on the icon to show all
windows of the same app.
When user NOT hold Ctrl, the behaviour of Unity does not change (show
the last used window, expose the app windows, do nothing and so on,
depending on the case).

So, I think it would not cause user confusion, user needs to hold Ctrl
to use this hypothetical feature.

Regards!
