status confirmed
Super-4-5 should switch to the window for launcher icon 4 then 5. In
general, keeping Super down and hitting successive keys should let you
correct course to the later app. Super-1-2-3-4-5 should launch all 5
apps, for example.

** Summary changed:
- super-shortcuts are slow to use
+ super-shortcuts should be "serializable"
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: unity
-
- Alt+tab is usable without having to wait for the popup to show up: you can
hit it and you know that'll you come back quickly to the previous window you
were using; but if, on the other hand, you realize that the previous is not the
wanted one, you can (instead of releasing the alt+tab) continue "tabbing" to
reach the desired window.
- Unity super-shortcuts on the other hand are slower/less intuitive to use:
-
- Lets assume that we have firefox as 3rd launcher, evolution at 4th, and
- empathy as 5th...
-
- I'm using firefox right, now, and i want to check who's online in empathy,
but i'm writing in this text box; to avoid reaching for the mouse, i want to
hit the shortcut...
- Unfortunately i can't istantly remember the position number of empathy, and i
may erroneously assume it's the 4th...
-
- I hit super+4, this brings me to evolution, i realize the error, and i
- try, without releasing super, to press 5 to correct the mistake, but
- this doesn't accomplish anything: i have to release super, press it
- again and then press 5.
-
- There are also other use cases: for example (contrary to the standard gnome
alt+tab popup now used in unity) in compiz is possible to have the target
windows focused, before releasing the alt button.
- This lets the user to hit alt+tab to check the content of another window
(like the list of online contacts in empathy), decide he doesn't really wants
to use empathy right now, and without releasing "alt", tab (or shift+tab) away
to another window. Such feats are impossible to obtain right now in unity.

+ While holding the Super key down, successive hotkeys should be usable
+ without having to lift the key. For example Super-2-3 should launch apps
+ corresponding to icons 2 and 3.
