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.

Have you tried "niri" wm? Pair it with dankmaterialshell or noctalia-shell for a desktop feeling (cosmic is also and option.)

The keyboard based control you are looking for is almost met, but not quite. That said, you might find this kind of a navigational wm works well for you, based on your description.

The niri website has a decent video demo.
