The ability to quicksearch trough the window list would
be extremely useful,
I had in mind something like an address book quicksearch

as you write the name of the window you're looking for,
the window list is filtered to contain only items that
contain the quicksearch string.

by the way,
great job on this program,
well done

    YES. This is an excellent idea. You never know where the application name is going to show up in the title that appears in the task list. It could be the first word - "Notepad" or the last "readme.txt - Notepad". Now it would be great if I could type in "n-o-t-e" and then ONLY those tasks that contained that string would be shown. This would allow very quick selection of a task, without scrolling through the list.

    This is a feature I would love to have.

    I have the habit to keep a lot of windows open (43 at the
    moment), so I don't have to restore my state, when I
    continue a particular task. However, I becomes quite hard to
    find the right window, when you need it, and many times I
    end up opening a new window when I already had one open
    somewhere.

    I would love to open the Applications list in a sticky mode
    and just start typing the name I'm looking for. I thought
    incremental find would be nice (move the selection to the
    next match on each keypress), but after seeing this request
    I realized filtering could be even better.

    Please, implement something like this! If I would have more
    time, I would try to modify the source code myself!
