    I guess what you are looking for is done by Super + W under Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity. It provides you with a tile-style view of all open windows. As you are using Ubuntu 17.10 with the Unity-like Gnome environment, the key might be different. Under Gnome you may as well just pres Super to get a tile-like view of all open applications. BTW: Super = Windows Key

I am not aware of any window-preview-on-mouse-hover feature, but you can activate previews of open windows on





  • Primary mouse button click by running



    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action 'previews'



  • shift+click by running



    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock shift-click-action 'previews'



  • Middle mouse button click by running



    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock middle-click-action 'previews'



  • shift+middle mouse button click by running



    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock shift-middle-click-action 'previews'



(To find out all possible options for an action, run



gsettings range org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action


and so.)





As a side note, a GNOME extension called Dash to Panel puts the application icons to the top bar (and provides an option to move top bar to bottom) and also provides the window-preview-on-mouse-hover feature.

    @James If I'm not mistaken the preview-on-hover feature you're looking for is not yet implemented. But I would recommend not accepting the answer so that in future if/when the feature is implemented others will be more motivated to post a new answer.
