I've been looking for a utility that will let me look at a window on another monitor, see a hint, focus it. It seems as though this utility only works within windows rather than between them though, if I have understood the sales pitch correctly.
I'm coming to MacOS from a Linux tiling WM. I'm so used to being able to jump between monitors and switch windows directionally without having to grab the mouse.
Alt-tab / window search workflows are a non-starter: I can see the window I want to focus, I shouldn't have to pick it out of a menu or have to type the window title.
Does anyone know of any utilities that might fit the bill?
I also came from a TWM (i3) to macOS. It took a while to get to a good solution but I have it down now with yabai and skhd for window management. For launching apps, I wrote something around the launchAppOrFocus API in hammerspoon, assigning hot keys to my commonly used apps. I also have a rule set in yabai that launches certain apps in set desktop spaces.
I use spotlight search for the apps I don’t open so frequently but having something closer to dmenu (or a fuzzy find app picker) would be nice.
not exactly what you want but I use alfred hotkeys tied to "open" actions for specific applications. If the app is already open it activates it instead so I have shortcuts for safari, firefox, slack etc.
