Make "Open last windows if inactive" also available for the cycle window option
Could you also add an "Open last windows if inactive, otherwise cycle through windows" option? From a UI perspective, I'd not do this by adding another radio button, but by turning the existing "Open last windows if inactive, otherwise open thumbnail preview" radio button into a check box and name it "Open last windows first if inactive".
Answer
The regular "Cycle through windows" option does exactly that - it switches to the last window upon the first click, and then cycles through them. Am I misunderstanding your request?
Hmm, I just tested it again (under Windows 8.1) and it seems you're right. I could have sworn when I was using Windows 10 on another machine, cycling immediately went to the next Window even if all windows of that group were inactive before. E.g., if I have windows A -> B -> C of a group, and all of them are inactive, but the last active one was A, then what I saw was that clicking on the taskbar make window B active (instead of A). I'll check again on Windows 10 later.
Ok, I just checked on Windows 10 again, and you're right, the behavior already is how I was suggesting it to be. Not sure why I thought otherwise. Sorry for the noise. feel free to delete / close this idea.
