; iswitchw - Incrementally switch between windows using substrings
;
; Required AutoHotkey version: 1.0.25+
;
; When this script is triggered via its hotkey the list of titles of
; all visible windows appears. The list can be narrowed quickly to a
; particular window by typing a substring of a window title.
;
; When the list is narrowed the desired window can be selected using
; the cursor keys and Enter. If the substring matches exactly one
; window that window is activated immediately (configurable, see the
; "autoactivateifonlyone" variable).
;
; The window selection can be cancelled with Esc.
;
; The switcher window can be moved horizontally with the left/right
; arrow keys if it blocks the view of windows under it.
;
; The switcher can also be operated with the mouse, although it is
; meant to be used from the keyboard. A mouse click activates the
; currently selected window. Mouse users may want to change the
; activation key to one of the mouse keys.
;
; If enabled possible completions are offered when the same unique
; substring is found in the title of more than one window.
;
; For example, the user typed the string "co" and the list is
; narrowed to two windows: "Windows Commander" and "Command Prompt".
; In this case the "command" substring can be completed automatically,
; so the script offers this completion in square brackets which the
; user can accept with the TAB key:
;
;     co[mmand]
;
; This feature can be confusing for novice users, so it is disabled
; by default.
;
;
; For the idea of this script the credit goes to the creators of the
; iswitchb package for the Emacs editor
