Bug Description

I think it is not implemented yet, but in case it is, there is a problem in my Unity-2d.

On the bzr511 build, it is <Super> S. Pressing <Super> W does nothing.

Ok, but Super-S in Unity3d is Expo Mode for everything and is different from Super-W.
Is Super-S in Unity2d a substitute for Super-W or is Super-W simply missing?

According to the documentation, Super-S and Super-W have different functions:

Super-W - Spread mode, zoom out on all windows in all workspaces.

Super-S - Expo mode (for everything), zooms out on all the workspaces and let's you manage windows.

The latter: Super-W is not implemented, and it should be.

It seems like to me the description for <Super> W is actually the behavior you get when you press <Super> S.

@Adam: the mapping from <Super>S to showing all workspaces is correctly implemented in Unity-2d. I have to agree the wording of the two descriptions looks quite similar and could probably be improved to avoid confusions.

The spread misses a "global exposé" function that would spread all the windows on all workspaces in one single space (which is what <Super>W does in Unity).
