This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
Text-based-switcher
===================
Text-based window switcher for Unity
The visual switcher is very poor at providing context. E.g. the browser window
thumbnails are too small to tell apart.
This switcher shows a list of window titles and allows you to choose one
by typing first character(s) of the sought window. Press return to bring the
window to the front.
All credit goes to the original author, Jacob Vlijm. Thanks!

Usage
=====
The script needs ``wmctrl`` and ``xprop``. On Ubuntu:
.. code:: console
$ sudo apt-get install wmctrl x11-utils
Install from PyPI:
.. code:: console
$ sudo pip install text_based_switcher
Test-run it:
.. code:: console
$ list_windows --workspace
$ list_windows --application
$ list_windows --window
If it works, add one or more of the preferred commands to one or more shortcut
keys: choose:
_System Settings_ > _Keyboard_ > _Shortcuts_ > _Custom Shortcuts_.
Click the "+" and add the command.
If you do a local install (``--user`` option), Compiz won't get the right
Python path.
You can fix this by hacking ``sys.path`` in the installed script.
TODO
====
- Add wmctrl or ruamel.emwh as dependency
- Add xprop as dependency
- Don't call commands, use Python libraries
- Write some tests
Developer notes
===============
Please use a virtualenv to maintain this package, but I should not need to say that.
Grab the source from the SCM repository:
.. code:: console
$ python setup.py develop
$ pip install text-based-switcher[dev]
If you install
Run the tests (there are no tests yet!):
.. code:: console
