Use the Lua bindings for quick switching; with legacy `hyprland.conf`, a switch too quick to capture the keyboard stays open until `Enter` or `Escape`.
Read window titles, app names, workspace names and filters as literal text.
Since v0.3.0
Good to know
Only a desktop entry's own `Icon` may supply an icon file path; a path-like window app ID or class falls back to a lettered tile.
Browse windows with your Omarchy theme and wallpaper, with optional corner and border overrides.
Since v0.3.0
Good to know
Wallpaper changes appear on the next opening. Empty, negative or nonnumeric size overrides fall back to shell values; zero is supported.
Skip scratchpad windows while cycling through the window stack.
Since v0.3.0
Good to know
Scratchpads remain visible on the map and are included in the stack by default.
Open and control the window overview from custom bindings and inspect its state from the shell.
Since v0.3.0
Good to know
Requires the enabled plugin and `omarchy-shell`; bindings changes take effect after a Hyprland config reload.
Switch to earlier windows through a recency-ordered stack with a map of your workspaces.
