# Go To Window

**This is not yet even alpha**
**Alpha** - [Download](https://github.com/christianrondeau/GoToWindow/releases)

No more need for alt-tabbing through dozens of windows, or looking for your windows in the task bar. Simply press a shortcut, type a few letters from the window title or process name and press enter.

For the keyboard maniacs.

## Usage

Since this is not even alpha, you'll have to build the software and bind a shortcut yourself.
Launch `GoToWindow.exe`. You can also place it in in the Windows Startup menu to launch it automatically with Windows.

Once the main window is opened, either use the arrows to navigate or type something, and press enter to focus the window. Press escape to close.
* Press `Alt` + `Tab` to open the windows list. All windows are shown, with the most recently accessed first.

* Press `Enter` to go to the previously accessed window (same behavior as standard Windows `Alt` + `Tab`)

* 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.

* Press `Escape` to close the window.
