Description
**Describe the Feature**
It should be possible to navigate the window switcher with the keyboard.
At the least, this probably means introduction of some notion of "focused preview", which gets set to the first window upon opening the switcher. That focus should be movable with the arrow keys and open the focused preview when enter is hit.
Additionally (less crucial imo) typing text could fill out the search field.

Research direction
Start by locating the window switcher implementation and reviewing how previews, opening a window, and the search field currently work. Done means the first preview is focused on opening, arrow keys move focus, Enter opens the focused preview, and typing can optionally populate the search field.
