Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Being able to switch windows of the same app is great, but what would be even better is to switch between them instantly - without even showing a popup with listed windows. It'll imitate an exact behavior from macOS.
### Scenario when this would be used?
Much more dynamic and faster switching between windows and freeing the screen from popups that might not be needed by some users.
### Supporting information

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the existing same-app window-switching flow and confirming where its popup behavior is implemented. Compare the requested behavior with the current flow and define how instant switching should work, including what constitutes completion.
