Thanks! The long term goal of Smart Switcher is that the algorithm becomes reliable enough that window switching almost always requires only one Alt + Tab press. It's an ambitious goal that will require a lot of work, but that is the goal.


This sounds about on par with replacing all keystrokes by repeated alt+tab.

From an information perspective, prediction can only be right as frequently as there is redundant data capable of being compressed.


I am actually considering taking the concept further. Probably the most obvious would be browser tabs which would require creating a browser extension. I don't know if having the shortcut switch both windows and tabs would be helpful or start to become confusing.


let me know once you've overloaded Alt+tab to also autocomplete text in the effort to eliminate all need to ever type. /satire
