Not quite what I was looking for

Open ghost opened this issue 5 years ago • 8 comments

Great app! I like it but I was looking something like Alt + ` on Linux and mac, just to switch between same appliation's windows. Could you recommend me something like that?

Also not what I want. I' m looking for something like Switcher - GNOME Shell Extensions which can search window titles.

Maybe https://github.com/guija/sprung/ is something for you.

hm interesting sprung looks promising if it works with the latest windows patches thanks :)

I think powertoys with this https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/3357 fixed would be the ultimate solution with better support.

Sprung looks really nice! In PowerToys you can get very similar behavior by typing Alt-Space to open the launcher, and then "< window title" (the "<" is a special keyword to narrow the search to only window titles - the launcher input is quite powerful.

@gordonwatts indeed I used power toys but what I like with sprung is it has the possibility to search in browser tabs as an "addon"

Still PowerTools or Spung are not even near what Alfred for Mac OS can do but its a start.

Ah - now that is an interesting add-on. Does that work for all browsers on the mac? Or just special ones?

That sounds like a pretty specific request - As far as this project is concerned, why not add it as a feature request? (the title Not what I was looking for doesn't quite get to something actionable!).

As far as Alfred, I don't use the Mac but others around me do - none of them had heard of it. But if you look at their webpage: https://www.alfredapp.com/ - it seems like lots of cool utilities. Some of it is built into the Windows Shell, but also some interesting ideas. @gochev - what are the most interesting things that are missing from Windows/PowerToys?
