Feature Request: Option in [switch-apps] to get apps from all desktops #99

Hi there, first of all thanks for this app, its basically perfect, even if this request is denied.

As you may be aware, windows 11 (and 10) has multiple desktop support, which functions as an open apps de-clutter-er at least how I use it. (this exists in MacOS as well)

Mac's app switching functionality is able to fetch apps across all desktops, not just the current desktop. If it is at all possible, I'd love for that feature to exist in this app as well, behind a toggle in the .ini file in the [switch-apps] section, maybe "multi_desktop" so that users who are currently happy with the setup won't be bothered. I can't think of anything else the mac switcher does that this doesn't do.

As a default if lets say the same app exists in multiple desktop (like explorer), its fine to default to current desktop during app switch and only show 1 icon, that's how mac does it afaik, but could be wrong.

Again, thanks for building this, I love it.

We are not planning to support this feature.

First, the default window switcher of Windows OS does not include other desktop windows. Second, there are too few people using multiple desktops and window-switcher.exe at the same time.
