Quickly switch to any window using FZF

[wgmayer0]

I know xmonad has a feature where it pulls up squares of all open windows. What if I wanted to do something similar and pipe all open windows to an FZF terminal instance and then use FZF to select the window.

Two questions:

1. How would I get the list of all open windows on every workspace?
2. How would I send the result to xmonad so it knows where to switch?

You could probably use wmctrl for both, as long as your xmonad is configured to support EWMH. Or you can just use https://github.com/davatorium/rofi which is kind of what you want, but its fuzzy matching algo is a tiny bit different than fzf.

Thanks. Would I just configure it here somewhere?

import XMonad hiding ((|||))
import XMonad.Actions.CycleWS
import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops
import XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig (additionalKeysP)
import XMonad.Util.WorkspaceCompare
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W

import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops

main :: IO ()
main = do
    xmonad $ ewmh def
        { modMask = mod4Mask
        , terminal = "~/.scripts/clear_vifm"
        , borderWidth = 0
        , layoutHook = Full ||| tiled
        } `additionalKeysP` myKeys

I updated the above code to be a working ewmh config. I got the fzf code working too using wmctrl like you said:

wmctrl -a "$(wmctrl -l | awk '{$1=$2=$3=""; print substr($0,4)}' | fzf)"

It's great!! Thank you! Case closed!

You can also try using X.P.Window in combination with X.P.FuzzyMatch.
