Live X11 window thumbnail preview switcher, search & quick actions dialog
A Linux X11 alternative to Alt-Tab Terminator. Independent open-source project, not affiliated with or endorsed by NTWind Software. Live thumbnail capture and global hotkeys require an X11 or XWayland session; native Wayland windows cannot be captured or raised by external X11 clients.
FEATURES • Live Window Preview List & Large Preview Pane: enumerates open X11 client windows via EWMH, reads PID, WM_CLASS, geometry, desktop index, and real /proc/<pid>/status VmRSS memory, and captures live window thumbnails via QScreen.grabWindow (with XGetImage fallback). • Quick Window Actions & Compact Switcher Overlay: search open windows, Activate, Minimize, Pin On Top (_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE), Tile Left/Right, or Close Window, plus a compact Alt-Tab style overlay triggered via Ctrl+Alt+Tab or Alt+grave global XGrabKey hotkeys. • Layout Styles & Ignored Classes: switch between List + Large Preview and Thumbnail Card Grid, filter by current desktop, configure capture refresh interval, and manage WM_CLASS ignore rules.
