ALT-TAB window changing for all workspaces

Hello,

I'm aware of the fact that there is a setting that changes the ALT-TAB behavior such that windows from all workspaces can be selected, not just the current one. 

However I propose the possibility to have two keybindings, one intra workspace (e.g. ALT-TAB, as we know it), and one inter workspace (e.g. ALT-SHIFT-TAB).

I know this from other window managers, where it enhances productivity, and I'm used to it.

Thanks,
Niklas

Hello,

The "cycle through windows on all workspaces" option partially negates the benefit of having multiple workspaces. In my opinion, additional shortcuts within the ALT-TAB program would be useful. For example ALT-TAB brings up the window list, but perhaps other keys (e.g. PAGE_UP, PAGE_DOWN) would change the workspace number.
