ace jump like behaviour

[pyluyten]

this extension is incredibly useful, & you might maybe optimize a bit : once super+w is hit, "switcher" could automatically assign for each window one letter : first window a, second window b, third window c.

User just hit the relevant letter, so unless one has more than 26 windows it's always a one letter hit to open the right window.

This is an enhancement request. Please state it it if not interested, thanks !!

There is already an optional feature (available in the settings) to have single click activation either on function keys or numbers, would that do it for you?

ah, nice. it's good news this is already included, sorry i missed it

• if i use numbers from the main keyboard panel, it directly switches to the window. This is the desired behavior, efficient. Curiously, if i use the numpad, it does insert the number in the search string (eg i type 3, it does not switch to window 3 but instead it does append '3" to the string). So i'd say numpad does not work with "index".
• still, having a third option, fn keys / numbers / letters would be more efficient, at least on some keyboards / languages. I can talk for french keyboards : you definitely rather use letters. Also there are more letters than fn keys or numbers. I guess the index code is shared.

Tell me if you want distinct bug request 1) for the numpad issue 2) for the letters index request. Otherwise we can go on this bug

Lets keep everything in this issue.

1. is fixed with https://github.com/daniellandau/switcher/commit/27329dcd598615ca5be7250d107d3eea1ba72546

As for 2) that's more of a separate mode, as the whole filtering by typing thing is not there anymore.
