[Feature Request] Replace win ALT+TAB #111

Open alanaasmaa opened 5 years ago

alanaasmaa commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I'm also came from WOX and really miss the ALT+TAB feature. https://github.com/orzFly/Wox.Plugin.Switcheroo

Maybe ueli could also implement https://github.com/kvakulo/Switcheroo somehow?

oliverschwendener commented 5 years ago

Can you explain what this feature does?

alanaasmaa commented 5 years ago

I would like to have Switcheroo a like implemented in ueli.

It would make alt tabbing faster.

oliverschwendener commented 5 years ago

And what exactly is faster?? Can you explain in more detail please?

alanaasmaa commented 5 years ago

Do you use windows OS?

I dont know how i could explain it better.

Quote from witcheroo:

Instead of alt-tabbing through a (long) list of open windows, Switcheroo allows you to quickly switch to any window by typing in just a few characters of its title.

So for example i have 20 apps open. I do not have to press ALT+TAB and find the app with arrow keys. I could just press ALT+TAB and then ueli pops up whit some prefix and then i could just start typing app name.

Take a look for eaxample of Wox i added.

EDIT: https://electronjs.org/apps?q=clipboard You can get some help from there, also i can help you also if you accept this feature and direct me to right direction? OR should we wait till you get the code refactored ?

Ok now i get it. This is a nice idea. Currently I am working on a total rewrite of the core to support async plugin (currently everything is synchronous). When I'm done with that we can look into this.

Understood! Just would like to give a new view to this feature. It would be also awesome if opening an app by ALT+SPACE would open an existing application rather then creating always a new instance.

For example:
