In the latest version I added shortcut, something I wanted to do for some time now .
Every shortcut starts with . and continues with sequence of letters next to window. After entering the sequence focus is moved to that particular window (List is not scrolled to that point though, it seemed quite jumpy).

There is also another small feature never mentioned - after pressing Ctrl key the text area is cleared.

For anyone who downloaded previous 9.40 please redownload 9.40a, as 9.40 will crash immediately after there is some window with the default icon in the list.

• This version brings a few small GUI tweaks such as
  • When window isn't responding its icon no longer changes, there is no text notification either from now on, instead the item's background is changed to light yellow color
  • If window's title is too long it gets trimmed (reaches beyond one line boundaries)
• Metro windows should, hopefully, be appear normally from now on, and CPU consumption should be normal while any is active
• Changed the way app checks for window's title change, and for new metro windows
• Implemented better fuzzy search, instead of that garbage before
• As for now search is done against window title, not the process name, it's very likely this changes in the future
• Overall CPU consumption should be much lower now

Way the app searches for opened windows was tweaked, their list should be now very similar to that of Windows.

Items in the list refresh these information from now on:

• title
• responsiveness status
• their z-order (order they are ordered by, it's the same as classic windows alt-tab)

Some issues still persists, mainly:

• cpu consumption while any metro window is active
• memory consumption (I'm actually not sure about this one, wpf is kinda confusing)
• metro windows still have generic icon

Beside things mentioned above I want to add:

• support for localization
• some form of context menu with options such as close window, pin item in the list to prevent it from changing its position
• option to check for new version from the update window... read more
