I like this idea, in Firefox you can do this by CTRL + TAB shortcuts.
Windows uses ALT + TAB shortcuts to show all the open windows and Firefox uses CTRL + TAB shortcuts to show all the open tabs.
it'd be great if Edge used the same shortcut which is very familiar to Windows too.

pretty sure I remember Joe Belfiore demo'd having Edge tabs show up as individual windows when you used Alt-Tab at a Build: is that still on the roadmap @elliotkirk ?

This would mix windows with browser tabs..

  yes, that was going to be the point; why is it different to get between two Word documents or two Excel spreadsheets and two browser tabs?

    Yes you're right, Windows SETS was sorta based on the same idea and I loved it
