My feature request should improve the general usability of this great tool.

If I start ALT+Tab I have a certain application/window in mind that I want do bring to the front. To get fast there it is important to know how many times do I have to push ALT+Tab to get there.

If I only look at the preview it is a trail and error process - I see the current preview and if it is not the application I wanted I have to go to the next and so on...). At the moment only the icon list can give me that information (ok, 3 icons further is the application I need -> so I push 3 times ALT+Tab).

BUT: if I look at the icons I can not look at the preview at the same time which makes the preview feature nice but nearly useless for fast switching.

My suggestion:
What about implementing a list of previews that replace (or complement) the list of icons. This would make it possible to orientate oneself on the basis of the preview (instead of the icons).

Hope you like my suggestion.

regards
chris
