A popup with client previews that allows you to switch clients similar to the alt-tab menu in MacOS, GNOME, and Windows.

Usage
To enable:
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
cycleClientsByIdx = awful.client.focus.byidx, -- The function to cycle the clients
filterClients = awful.widget.tasklist.filter.currenttags, -- The function to filter the viewed clients
}
To run the window swicher you have to emit this signal from within your configuration (usually using a keybind).
awesome.emit_signal("bling::window_switcher::turn_on")
For example:
awful.key({Mod1}, "Tab", function()
awesome.emit_signal("bling::window_switcher::turn_on")
end, {description = "Window Switcher", group = "bling"})
