Feature request: Switching Safari windows as in a "stack"

BEFORE you answer, please know that I DID know that Apple believes the document switching IS like a stack of papers, but it's not.


To make it work for the most common usage (two documents) it was "thgought" as a stack, but changed (at last time?) to throw the last document you worked with BELOW the next one, instead of at the bottom of the stack, giving no options to the rest of cases in which you work with more than 2 docs (common in an Internet Browser).


That's the way the whole system works, but in the browsers, we atypically work with MANY documents, and it's a pain for our brain to "predict" where the next document is, so we have to visually "scan" all of them (worse in thumbnails) until reaching the "next one in line".


I know, it's not a line, but it's not a stack either.


Please give the old "option" key the value Apple used to give, by offering an extra option, in this case preventing that switching-through-the-foremost-documents behavior, and let me work with more than 3 documents easily. The option key is sitting there, doing nothing for this action.

Thanks Carolyn.

I'll follow your link.


I'd also like to know others input. Sometimes I think I'm the only ones who is used to shortcuts, or I have to wait until forum residents quit writing (others might think I'm taken care of and not replying) so people who actually uses the Mac to work can opine.


Anyway, here's how I use the browser when working. I think it's very common, or at least enough for an "option".
