Thanks for all your work on the amazing new Cosmic DE! Best alpha release I've ever used, and so far already seems to be good enough as a daily driver for me.
My favorite feature in Gnome 3+, which I'd love to see in Cosmic sooner or later since it's at the heart of my Linux workflow, is the ability to press just one key (Super) and do three important things: 1) see my open apps, 2) find and launch new ones by typing the first few characters of their name, and 3) see the otherwise hidden dock with my pinned favorites. Right now when I set the Super key to open the launcher in the Cosmic settings I've already got 1) and 2), but the dock isn't integrated and is either always present or hidden unless I move the mouse over it. This therefore requires a very different workflow depending on whether I want to launch a favorite (using just the mouse) or some other app (using just the keyboard). If we could have an option where the dock is hidden normally, but comes up when the Super key is pressed (along with the list of open apps and launcher as at present) that would be perfect.

Thanks for considering this!
