Description Ioram Gordadze 2012-10-20 12:09:23 UTC 
Now when I press Super key in gnome shell, opens list of opened applications to me.
Then I have to select one of them using mouse.

I think it will be good and practical, if it will be possible to select application using arrow keys and after hitting enter, chosen one to come in front.

Sorry for poor english.

Do you mean the thumbnails of open windows in the center of the screen (bug 644306) or the icon list in the sidebar at the screen edge (which we call the dash)? You can move keyboard focus to the dash by selecting it with <ctrl><alt>tab. I don't think we should put the initial focus there though, it makes more sense to me to set it on the window switcher ...
