Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'd like to use these shortcuts to replace my usage of Plasma's task switcher, and set them to alt+tab (and shift+alt+tab). To replace the task switcher, I need to be able to mash continuously on the tab key to get to the window I need, even if it's to the left of the starting focus.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like either additional shortcuts, or a change to the shortcuts mentioned in the title, or an additional option in the settings which affect the shortcuts mentioned in the title, so that I can use a single shortcut to move focus one by one to every window.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Continue to use the Plasma task switcher.

Additional context

I'm really loving this project, thank you!

Research direction

Use the existing “Move focus to the next/previous window in grid” shortcuts named in the issue as the entry point. Inspect how those shortcuts and their settings are defined, then establish whether continuous forward and reverse cycling should be new shortcuts or an option; done means repeated activation visits every window and wraps at both ends.
