Description
Is it possible to make the Scale plugin work as the Switcher plugin?
I like the former however after setting it to Alt + Tab (and disabling the Switcher of course) it's impossible to continue switching between active windows using the same keys combination. You need to press Up/Down/Left/Right to select the application to activate which is super inconvenient.
And of course the Scale plugin doesn't support Shift + Alt + Tab to walk through windows in the reverse order.
To be honest, these two plugins basically do the same thing, so maybe it's worth merging them and adding an option called, e.g. Presentation which could be either "All applications at once" or "A roll".

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by comparing the Scale and Switcher plugins and determine how cycling, reverse cycling, and presentation modes should interact. Done means the Scale plugin can switch with the same key combination, supports reverse traversal, and has an agreed presentation option or merged design.
