** Description changed:
Hello,
I have come to like Unity but sometimes I need to switch between windows
of an application, or to switch to a particular window of an
application. Currently to do that I need to go either through the spread
(expose-like effect which shows all open windows for an application) or
through alt-tab which works fine, but it would be great to be able to
switch between windows more rapidly.
To demonstrate, I wrote a patch which adds a list of currently open
windows for an application to the menu which appears when an application
icon in the menu is right-clicked.
Patch attached - the patch is against Unity in 12.04 LTS.
I have also made a video to show this in action:

+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Accepted implementation:
+
+ - The max width should be 300px
+ - The window title should be ellipsized at the end
+ - This entry should only be displayed if there are 2 or more windows. If the
application only has 1 or 0 windows open nothing should be displayed.
+
+ The format of the option should be:
+
+ ====================
+ [application specific quicklist options area]
+ --------------
+ [application name]
+ --------------
+ Windows:
+ [window title 1]
+ [window title 2]
+ [window title 3]
+ --------------
+ Most recent files (see lp:893652)
+ file one.odt
+ file two.odt
+ file three.odt
+ file four.odt
+ file five.odt
+ --------------
+ Keep in launcher
+ Quit
+ ====================
