  In my daily work, I save a lot of time[1] by using Super+1...9 to switch
  to windows.
  
  When an application has more than one window (you see 1+ dots next to
  its icon in the task bar), and the user presses Super+N, Unity would
  switch to the last used window of the application. This was great,
  because users typically switch more often between the same two apps,
  e.g. an IDE and a browser window for web app development, or a browser
  window and another app for data input etc.
  
  GNOME on the other hand, does not switch to the last used among the
  windows when you press Super+N. It forces you to pick one of the
  windows, every single time. Screenshot:

  If you have multiple windows per app (very common with browsers in
  productivity scenarios), this negates the speed advantage of switching
  via Super + numbers in the first place. You have to navigate with the
  arrow keys (the mouse is out of the question if you care about speed),
  then press Enter. Also, pressing Num Enter doesn't do anything.
  
  Can there please be an option to enable simply switching to the last
  used window of that application?
