## 🎨 Window Switcher <!-- {docsify-ignore} -->
A popup that allows you to switch clients similar to what is known from MacOS or GNOME.

### Usage
To enable:
```lua
bling.widget.window_switcher.enable {
type = "thumbnail", -- set to anything other than "thumbnail" to disable client previews
-- keybindings (the examples provided are also the default if kept unset)
hide_window_switcher_key = "Escape", -- The key on which to close the popup
minimize_key = "n", -- The key on which to minimize the selected client
unminimize_key = "N", -- The key on which to unminimize all clients
kill_client_key = "q", -- The key on which to close the selected client
cycle_key = "Tab", -- The key on which to cycle through all clients
previous_key = "Left", -- The key on which to select the previous client
next_key = "Right", -- The key on which to select the next client
vim_previous_key = "h", -- Alternative key on which to select the previous client
vim_next_key = "l", -- Alternative key on which to select the next client
}
```
To run the window swicher you have to run:
```lua
awesome.emit_signal("bling::window_switcher::turn_on")
```
from within your configuration (usually using a keybind).
