I just want a Windows 7 behavior where clinking the icon cycles through all the windows. I know about Alt+' (key above Tab) and Alt+Tab clicking the icon is just more intuitive.

That works... sadly no more Click to Minimize. It would be nice if you could Minimize when there is one window open and Cycle-windows when there are 2 or more. Oh well... thank you.

If you mean Enabling Click to Minimize (minimize the window when clicking on the icon) as shown in the gif photo:

It is simple, you can do that by running the following command in your terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action 'minimize'
If you do not like ‘click to minimize’ behavior, you can set it back to default using the command below:
gsettings reset org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action
No I meant if I had two office files open and I clicked the icon so it cycles between them (it's a windows7 behavior). I have Click to Minimize enabled.

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action 'minimize'
If you do not like ‘click to minimize’ behavior, you can set it back to default using the command below:
gsettings reset org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action
No I meant if I had two office files open and I clicked the icon so it cycles between them (it's a windows7 behavior). I have Click to Minimize enabled.
