Currently the shift action is set to launch a new application, exactly
the same than the control action. If there is more than one window for
an app (say in position 1), then super+1 will open a preview to switch
between them, which is nice but has some shortcomings:
1) It's not a particularly fast shortcut, it requires moving between the
previews and pressing Enter to pick one.
2) It's a bit quirky when auto-hide is enabled (the previews are relocated
after the dock hides itself again).
3) The previews are fine but a bit small.
Now, there is another way to achieve iteration which is to use the
configurable shift modifier for that. Currently it's mapped to the same
action than control, that is, launch a new instance of the app.
Wouldn't it be more useful if you instead mapped it to iteration between
app windows? Since Ubuntu is not exposing settings for this, it seems to
me that as a "hard" default aliasing the shift and the control behaviors
is a waste.
