This is fantastic!

I wish window/app selection in Wayland was better. On my Mac I use a combination of Phoenix and Hyperkey to capture capslock + key combinations, (e.g. cap+f for Firefox) which when pressed, either open an app of my choice it not already open, or bring it to the front of the stack.

Last time I looked into it window and app selection in Wayland just didn’t work.

I use https://github.com/houmain/keymapper to achieve the same thing, Meta + W: open or switch through existing Firefox windows, Meta + Z: open or switch through existing Terminal Windows, etc.

It works on Wayland from my understanding, but I'm using X11 as my daily driver.
