[FEATURE] The "Q" key only temporarily toggles filter between all workspaces and current workspace, suggestion to make it permanent #100

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Lets say I set up the windows switcher to only show windows in the current workspace. When I use the windows switcher by pressing Alt+Tab, then I press Q it now shows all windows from all workspaces. But next time I press Alt+Tab it again shows windows from the current workspace.

Describe the solution you'd like I suggest when we press Q after pressing Alt+Tab it toggles filtering between all workspaces and current workspace permanently. So if I initially set up filtering to show windows from all workspaces, then I press Alt+Tab and then Q, next time I use Alt+Tab it shows windows only from current workspace.

Describe alternatives you've considered Maybe create another shortcut for permanently toggling filtering between all workspaces and current workspace.

Additional context Maybe if you set up filter to only show windows from current workspace it should automatically stop showing the workspace index?

EDIT: also lets say I initially set up filtering to show windows from all workspaces. Now when I press Alt+Tab it highlights the second window, but if that second window happens to be on another workspace then when I press Q it highlights the first window now. I suggest it prefers highlighting the second window after toggling to show windows from only the current workspace.

The latest update allows you to define an additional hotkey to permanently switch the filter. Available in the main branch, feedback is welcome.
