Re: [STUMP] a program to switch windows

[Andrei Mikhailov]

It is like "vgroups" but each item in the list being marked by a
letter, and pressing
the corresponding key would bring me to that window. I guess this
should be easy to implement. I imagine (optional) color coding would
not be hard either. I am tempted to learn some LISP and try to do it
myself.
