I usually have lots of apps and windows open and minimized on my desktop, and sometimes it is hard to find the exact one I need. So it would be handy to be able to search through them and bring the one to the foreground that I am looking for.
Similar to how you can search for files in Sublime Text with Ctrl+P, and AFAIR in JetBrains apps too.
I am fine with a built-in solution if one exists, or a 3rd party app is good too.
I'm aware that if I press Ctrl+Tab a magnifying glass appears in the top right corner titled Search Activities. This could be good, except it doesn't seem to search at all in the application titles. E.g. if I type explorer in there, it just springs this error on me: No results for "explorer" in your timeline. Try searching with Cortana
.
I'm also asking here because it's almost impossible to search for a solution to this on e.g. Google, as queries like
- windows search for window
- windows jump to window
- search open windows
- search open applications
Yield very irrelevant results, mostly related to file searching.
