frenzie / nimbler

A window switcher for users who keep a lot of windows open on multiple workspaces.

Nimbler

Nimbler is a GTK-based window switcher. It can be activated with a hotkey, upon which it shows you a list of open windows ordered by workspace. You can switch quickly to the desired window using the shortcut displayed in front of the window. Workspaces can be activated using F1 through F12. The list of windows also allows clicking and navigation with the arrow keys.

nimbler's Issues

Focus issue in Cinnamon

See XCMer/fuzzy-window-switcher#32 (comment)

@sanchitbh we should probably continue our discussion here rather than littering fuzzy-window-switcher.

Also I think Nimbler has thumbnails or icons (?) which makes it more to my liking.

They're just icons (but there is an icon_size setting!). Thumbnails are pretty much just an inferior version of icons in my eyes. They need to be bigger to be useful and even then they're less distinctive. But I'm not opposed to adding them as an option as long as someone else writes it. ;-) They were actually available as an experimental feature in superswitcher. See here.

Search applications

Hey, might as well put it up here. I implemented the special action on : after all. =P

Close applications

Perhaps through middle click?
