Powertoys Run (https://github.com/microsoft/powertoys https://github.com/microsoft/powertoys) can do this. There are not that many plugins as Alfred but Window Switcher is built-in.
- eviks 3y agoPowertoys Run does it worse, it adds a new line from a plugin, so now you have two lines for the same app, and Alfread/Keypirinha at least have shortcuts to launch eg, line number 2 which powertoys doesn't have, so you have to scroll to pick whether you want a new instance or switch to an existing one
- abhinavk 3y agoYes. It’s still not perfect and the configuration is a bit unintuitive. I was able to get a closer experience to Alfred by setting Window Walker plugin priority to highest at 1000. I switch apps way more than I launch them so it kinda works.
- neodymiumphish 3y agoIsn't there a prepend for the switcher? You can use something easy to reach as the prepend when you just want to switch apps, like `.` and the use powertoys run to trigger it. This would prevent the duplication.
- eviks 3y agoThis would also prevent finding the app if it's not running, so you're just shifting the location of the bug around
