[Feature Request] List windows under each workspace in the list in menu bar

[GraemeARobinson]

Sometimes I lose track of a window and when I ALT+TAB to it, Aerospace switches the apps back to what was previously in focus. This happens most often on floating windows.

In this situation, I find myself disabling aerospace then ATL+TABing to the window so I can interact with it, then when I'm done with that window, I re-enable aerospace. This is a bit of a pain.

It would be great if there was a way of telling which workspace an application has a window on, like in the list of workspaces in the menu bar. In that case, I could (presumably) switch to the relevant workspace then ALT+TAB the floating window to bring it to the foreground.

I can't express how much I love using Aerospace. I recommend it to anyone that I know uses macOS. Thank you so much for making and sharing it!

Sorry, I don't understand what the problem is here. When you ALT+TAB to a window, the workspace this window belongs to is activated, meaning that all windows from the workspace become "visible". Why does it cause problems that make you disable AeroSpace?

Right now, AeroSpace shows monitor name next to all non-empty workspaces. I plan to show app names there. Would it fix your problem?

Yeah, that might help. Wouldn't the list of app names in each workspace get quite big though?

Depends on the workflow. Typically, I have only one app per workspace

But in case there are several apps, some shortening strategies should be introduced to cut off long names with ellipses
