quickswitch-i3 1.0

Quickly change to and locate windows in i3

Overview

This utility for i3, inspired by Pentadactyl’s :buffers command, allows you to quickly switch to and locate windows on all your workspaces, using an interactive dmenu prompt.

Here’s how it looks in action:

Dependencies

quickswitch requires dmenu (which you likely already have installed), and i3-py, which you can install with pip install i3-py.

quickswitch was tested in Python 2.7.3 and 3.2.3.

Installation

Quickswitch has a PyPI entry, so you can install it with pip install quickswitch-i3. Alternatively, you can always manually run the setup file with python setup.py install.

Additionally, if you are an Arch user, you can install it from the AUR. The package is called quickswitch-i3. The PKGBUILD is also included here.
