Bring to front all windows for a certain application in Windows 7

Trying to find some key+click combination to bring all windows for a given application to the top of z-order. For example, I have several Putty terminal windows open in the stacked taskbar icon and I want to display all of them, not just the last used. The only work-around I have found so far is to shift+right-click and "minimize all windows" followed by "restore all windows". Any simpler way to do this?

Solution 1:

A better option than the Windows key is to hold down Control and click once for each window on the taskbar icon.

Solution 2:

Hold down Shift, Right click on the taskbar Icon, Select "Restore all windows."

Found here with a bunch of good shortcuts:

Solution 3:

As suggested by Wil, AutoHotkey can do it.

Here is a script that will put on top all PuTTY windows. It is activated when pressing the Win+p hotkey:

#p::
WinGet, id, list, ahk_class PuTTY
Loop, %id%
{
    this_id := id%A_Index%
    WinActivate, ahk_id %this_id%
}
return

Solution 4:

Let putty be one of the first 10 programs docked on the taskbar. Let's say putty is #4 from the left. To bring one of the open putty sessions to the front, hit Ctrl-Windows-4. Repeat to bring each session to the front until they are all on top.

I am using a Microsoft keyboard. There is a macro assignment feature in the keyboard software (free download from Microsoft). I've created a macro that does Ctrl-Windows-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 and assigned it to the calculator key on the keyboard. Now I can bring all of the putty sessions to the front with just one key press.

(Hint for using the macro software: right click on a key icon to split it means to keep it pressed down.)
