Edit: I want a graphical window switcher that’s fully keyboard controlled, so I can see the windows before switching them.

The screenshot is from hyprland-easymotion which only shows labels for visible windows. I want a switcher that allows for both switching to windows or the same, or from any app, using just the keyboard and no mouse.

Ideally I could go to a window without pressing tab or another key a bunch of times, perhaps select any window (visible or not) with a letter like easymotion.

    Idk if I follow. I believe the default keybinds in hyprland allow you to switch between windows using super+J/K/L/;, and between workspaces using super+number. Hyprland, like all tiled window managers, are specifically designed to be used exclusively with a keyboard.

    Are you asking for something more like alt+tab on windows? Where it shows a little preview of all the windows? I think that’s kind of obviated by the concept of a tiled window manager.

      This is better than directional arrows or alt tab because you can go directly to any window with one binding to open the utility and a second key to type a window label.

      The beauty is that it’s the same short process to go to any window no matter if if you 15 visible windows across 3 monitors.

      You don’t have to conceptually switch to an output and then to a window or type a string of directional keys like Super+LLLLLJJ

      On Hyprland I have all my windows float & stack by default. I use Hyprland since it can be easily customized with dotfiles.
