Can you please add the behaviour variant for pressing Meta + number to display small window previews and one by one peek at them by pressing the number (without maximizing) from the beginning, and after the Meta key is released immidietly remove the previews
Can you describe why none of the existing options are sufficient to achieve the workflow or UX you prefer?
Because when in the behaviour settings, in "Clicking grouped tasks" I select "Show small window previews" it displays them, but clicking the number again just removes the previews, it doesn't peek at them

When you say "peek at them", do you mean that each press of the Meta+Number key should actually cycle to the next window in the group?
I mean I press Meta + number, and then to switch between windows I keep on holding Meta and press number for each window I want to go through. P.S. By peek I mean display window's contents without giving the actual focus, or if it's too hard to code, I'd also be happy with giving a focus to a window and then taking that focus back if the user had decided to cycle through it.

And then when I release Meta the current window that I selected is supposed to be given focus to.
And if the user had selected a window (released Meta) that already has focus, the window should be defocused

Thanks. I don't think we'll be doing this, sorry, There are already a lot of window switching options and it's not clear to me how this would be any better than what we already have.
If I'll do that myself, will somebody approve my pull request?
It depends on how much code it adds, the quality of the code, whether the new option is able to be comprehensibly communicated to the user, and whether the final result presents a UX that's better than anything we have right now, either in general, or for any specific use cases. It never hurts to try I suppose!
