An interesting idea, but not something that would fit my workflow for several reasons (not the least of which is it's Windows-only).

Cmd-Tab on Mac and Alt-Tab on Windows does the same thing every time. Its consistency lets me use it extremely quickly, with confidence. It does what I want it to, every time. I don't wish to sound dramatic, but if I hit a shortcut with a window in mind, and this app picked the wrong window even once, I would uninstall it immediately. "Cmd-Tab, but it doesn't work sometimes" sounds frustrating and strictly worse than the system shortcut.

Maybe it should look more like GitHub Copilot. It watches what you're doing and shows a small indicator somewhere of the window it thinks you want to switch to. If the app guessed right, you hit a keyboard shortcut and switch to it. If the app guessed wrong, you just ignore the suggestion, like with Copilot.

The Copilot idea is interesting, I'll have to look into it. One thing I want to be clear on is once you press the override shortcut, the override is saved as the default switch option for that window and the algorithm won't change this.

Reminds me of how some FPS games have a "quick weapon switch" button to toggle to a specific weapon separate from the full menu of all weapons.

Uh.. it does not? Alt+Tab on windows switches all the windows, indiscriminately. Cmd+Tab on osx only switches between apps? If you have two Firefox windows on osx, you need Cmd+~ to switch between them, when you have finally reached the Firefox app through Cmd+Tabbing

I am aware that Microsoft and Apple have implemented fast window-switching slightly differently. I use both OSes daily. The point I was making was both make similar high-level design decisions.

When you begin alt-tabbing, you cycle between your other open windows, arranged by how recently they were last open. Cmd-Tab is the same, but between apps. Both features rearrange items only based on recency, and always keep the same order.
