The fact that you can’t create a key binding for a window or even name it is ridiculous.

- killtimeatwork 5y agoIf the app lauching the window is placed as an icon in the task bar, you can pop its window app with Windows + (number of icon, counting from the start menu button). It doesn't work for some misbehaving apps which I guess didn't bother to do proper windows integration (Spyder IDE is one such example), but overall works great.
- ARandumGuy 5y agoWait, what? I never new you could do that! That's a super nice feature.
- bassdropvroom 5y agoI could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure you can't name windows in Gnome, KDE, and Windows either.
- bscphil 5y agoYou can change the window title in X, though chances are the window manager will just change it back next time it's refreshed. xprop -f _NET_WM_NAME 8u -set _NET_WM_NAME "New Window Name" I'm not sure why anyone would do this, and I'm also not sure what the GP comment means by "naming windows" anyway. KDE does allow assigning shortcuts to windows, but I've never used this either.
