When using the Window switcher with the option “Sort: Last Used / Stack Order …” it would be very nice to be able to set the setting “Initial Focus” to start in the second entry of the list. This would replicate the behaviour of the usual macOS app switcher, where one taps `cmd+tab` to switch to the last active app. I would also like to use something like `option+tab` to switch to the last active window or hold `option` and cycle through the list hitting `tab` multiple times. Currently, I always have to hit `tab` twice to go to the last active window (cycling through the list afterwards works very well).
