• [x] Make switch-windows scroll the tiling when a scratch window have focus (An alternative is including the scratch layer in the preview list, but not sure how it would work, or make sense)

• [ ] Make the scratch layer transparent when focus or pseudo-focus is on tiling (transparency could increase based on mru).

• [ ] Find a good hotkey for the toggle, <super>above_tab is probably best, but clashes with alt-tab group behavior. <super>escape is a good combo, but have some bad semantics and might clash with escaping from super-mode. <super>space is probably best used for the search/actions like Spacemacs or Spotlight.

• [ ] Add a toggle icon to the top bar, potentially including the icon of the most recently used scratch window.

• [ ] <super>number could work for quick switching with hints on super down.

• [x] New windows should open in the scratch layer while it have focus

• [x] Make a proper scratch layer group (or some tag) to enable coexisting with monitors that are shared between all workspaces (as they use visible on all workspaces)

Might make more sense when we have a proper minimap. Then switch-next/prev could go through the minimap first, and then continue "down" in the tiling. The scratch layer preview could become transparent at that point, and if accepting a window in the tiling the scratch layer could be hidden.

Since I have been using PaperWM, I haven't used Alt+Tab - so I see no problem in having the option.

Hehe, yeah, it's entirely possible to not use Alt+Tab much, but it can be quite useful to get quickly get back to a previous window after navigating long distances.

A toggle for only having scratch windows in the Alt+Tab popup could be useful. We try to limit toggles, but it might be reasonable here.

I've also been thinking about making Super+Escape work as an Alt+Tab for only the scratch windows, but that leaves us less options for toggling the whole layer.
