Bug Description
When the window switcher is launched by Alt+Tab, an icon can be zoomed out by using Alt+`. This is ergonomically very convenient, just because the `is just above <tab> key. By using Alt+`again, nothing happens. What is expected: the window should zoom in to an icon.
-------
Desired solution:
- If when Alt-Tab is open and the user presses the 'grave key' (the key above tab) this triggers a spread of the windows of that application. Once in this state, pressing the 'grave key' a second time should reverse this action and close the spread.

Yup, if there's only 1 window of the selected icon, then pressing Alt+` twice should bring the selected window back to its launcher icon in the switcher.
