Go To Window

**Warning! This is an alpha, and is being constantly improved.** No more need for alt-tabbing through dozens of windows, or looking for your windows in the task bar. Simply press `Win` + `Tab` + `Tab`, type a few characters from the window title or process name you want to switch to and press enter. For the keyboard maniacs.

## Usage Launch `GoToWindow.exe`. You can also place it in in the Windows Startup menu to launch it automatically with Windows. * Press `Win` + `Tab` + `Tab` to open the windows list. All windows are shown, with the most recently accessed first. * Press the `Up` and `Down` arrows to navigate in the list, and press `Enter` to switch to the application. * Start typing keywords to filter the list. Note that only windows that contain all words in either the window title _or_ the process name will be shown. * If no opened window is found for your query, press `Enter` to search directly in the Windows Search charm. * Press `Ctrl` + `Number (1 - 9)` to directly open the application at the selected index from the list. * Press `Escape` to close the window. ## Tips and gotchas * To use GoToWindow within an application that runs with elevated privileges (Run as Administrator), GoToWindow must also run with elevated privileges, otherwise the native `Alt` + `Tab` will show up. * By default, GoToWindow expands web browser's tabs. This slows down display a little bit. You can disable it in the Settings, under the Plugins tab. * Windows 10 is supported, but there's a few glitches (icons and process name not showing up, some closed apps still showing up...) ### Built-in Plugins * `GoToWindow.Plugins.Core`: Loads the core windows list, as shown by the native `Alt` + `Tab` screen. Also allows launching the Windows Search if no window fit. * `GoToWindow.Plugins.ExpandBrowsersTabs`: Expands browser windows and shows all tabs as separate windows. Includes Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Notepad++ * `GoToWindow.Plugins.ExplorerExtensions`: Show the full path of explorer windows instead of just the folder name. If a valid path is written, you can also open Windows Explorer with it. ### Feedback Something doesn't work as expected, or you have an idea for us?
