Public bug reported:

Setup:
I have two windows of the same application open, then I use its corresponding 
hotkey. Ubuntu-dock shows a preview of the windows, dash-to-dock extension 
cycles through the windows without showing any preview. 

Problem:
Ubuntu-dock behaviour slows down the usage of the dock for me, since I have to 
select the window with the arrow keys or the mouse, whereas dash-to-dock I just 
had to keep hitting the shortcut to select the desired window.

This behaviour is not configurable with any parameter that I know of,
the one closer would be "/org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/show-
windows-preview true/false", which enables/disables the preview of
windows on the contextual menu of the dock, not the hotkey.

Solution/Proposal:
In my opinion ubuntu-dock should either revert to the dash-to-dock behaviour, 
or better, include an additional parameter to configure this behaviour similar 
to scroll-action, shift-click-action, shift-middle-clock-action, to configure 
what to do on shortcut-action, for instance: cycle-windows, or show-preview
