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.

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
