Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
In the unity launcher, the only way to switch apps is using the keyboard shortcuts or a mouse click. A good way, implemented by existing launchers, is to use the mouse scroll to switch between the active apps. The mouse click method to switch apps is especially cumbersome when there are multiple documents open in the same app (for eg. evince).
A mouse scroll on the grouped app icon would switch between the documents, other wise, it would switch between all apps.
