Add search bar #27

Hi, i really love this plugin. One feature it currently lacks compared to the overview of Gnome and KDE is a search bar, where if you type a window name, it will be focused. I imagine it will probably be a lot harder to show a list of matching Windows than to just focus on the workspace+window matching the best, but that would be even more useful.

Thank you for your kind words and suggestion.

I would love to implement this feature, however, making a input field widget when operating at compositor level is very hard. We do not have the luxury to use UI libraries like GTK or QT like GNOME and KDE does in their shell.

Since hyprland exposes various bindings, it is very much possible to achieve this via ags or equivalents.
