I've recently switched to MacOS from Ubuntu, and have been trying to replicate my usual keyboard shortcuts for window management. I'm using Cmd+` to switch between windows of the same app, but when doing so, I can't see which window I'm switching to until I've already made the switch!
In Ubuntu, it works a bit differently: it shows a preview of all open windows for the current application. See below:
Note the preview of each Terminal window. This allows me to Cmd+` around until I find the window I'm looking for.
Is there any way to add this functionality to macOS?

F11 will show all current application windows. left/right arrows will step through them. Enter will select.
This is a subset of Shortcut for toggling between different windows of same app? which you can invoke similarly from the Cmd ⌘ Tab ⇥ app switcher, except in that case you use the down arrow to switch you into this mode.
If you'd find Cmd ⌘ ↓ better all round, you can change that in System Prefs > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Mission Control - though you can't do the inverse & make both F11
If your habit is to always go right for Cmd ⌘ Tab ⇥ every time, then you can quickly do left, down to flip through windows in the existing app.
You call as to which you might prefer.
