[Feature] Rename or tag windows #174

This could help when users have multiple windows with the same title. Example:

PowerShell
PowerShell
PowerShell

For situations like that, it would be great to have some disambiguation mechanism.

Imagine actions like:

  • Rename the window. Press F2 in Switcheroo to rename the highlighted window. This changes the window's real title as well.
  • Tag the window in Switcheroo. This adds a searchable tag without renaming the window, for when renaming isn't possible/desirable.

Take Chrome for instance: Changing pages changes the window title. But maybe you want to have a Chrome window dedicated to troubleshooting or chat that you can quickly switch to. Tags could solve that problem.

Tags could be permanent or temporary. Examples:

  • Alt+T: Temporarily tag an open window. The tag will be discarded when the window closes.
  • Shift+Alt+T: Permanently tag a window. Any window that matches that window's class|title|executable|some combination thereof is tagged whenever it appears.

Thoughts?
