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.

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

      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
