Hi HN! I made a small tool that allows you to go to windows directly. This currently only works on X11 but it should be portable to Wayland.
It's very helpful if you have a large multi-screen setup where you have windows all over the place and want to go directly to a certain window somewhere without using the mouse and movement controls. It's most useful when using a tiling window manager.
It was heavily inspired by i3-easyfocus [0] but that doesn't do TrueType fonts and no high DPI so it's unusable for me.
From a technical side it was made with Rust, Cairo (for drawing and font stuff) and xcb/x11 for X interaction.
Hopefully someone finds this helpful.
