When you go to the Overview, you don't get initially a list of
applications, as the initial view is Windows. You could do the next:
  * Start to write: a filtered list is started to be created. You can
use up and down arrows to navigate
  * Ctrl+Alt+Tab: in order to move to a different panel, ane select
applications. This open "all applications", and you can navigate as before.
