A windows application to rapidly switch between multiple windows.
Windows are searched by it's window title. The search algorithm is inspired by the command palette from the text editor Sublime Text.
Sprung is intended to be used only with the keyboard. Therefore the UI is deliberately simple.
You can download the Sprung installer from http://sprung.netzauftrag.com/releases/
Download the installer of the most recent version from http://sprung.netzauftrag.com/releases/
Run the installer. The installer will create a shorcut on your desktop. Start Sprung by clicking on that shortcut.
Enjoy by using the default keyboard shortcut Alt+Space
You can configure the shortcut yourself (See Settings below)
If you want Sprung to be launched on every system startup just put a copy of the shorcut in your startup folder. (You can open your startup folder by typing Win+R
-> shell:startup
-> Enter
)
Here is a simple demo of how Sprung works:
There are only two shortcuts available:
Alt+Space
: Open Sprung Window Switcher
Alt+Shift+Space
: Open Sprung Window Switcher and list tabs for each browser as own windows
Please note that the tabs support is currently in alpha stadium and is available for test purposes only. Currently supported browsers are:
- Firefox
- Internet Explorer
The settings can be modified by changing the settings.json
file.
Example settings.json file:
{
"excluded": [
"^$",
"^Sprung$",
"^Program Manager - explorer$",
"^Start - explorer$",
"^AMD:CCC-AEMCapturingWindow$",
"^Windows Shell Experience Host - ShellExperienceHost$"
],
"list_tabs_as_windows": false,
"open_window_list": "Alt+Space",
"open_window_list_with_tabs" : "Alt+Shift+Space"
}
Options:
