cwintab is a command line utility that in some situations make it quicker to switch between windows on Windows.

In most situations, nothing. However, when you are using a remote desktop over a connection with quite high latency and/or somewhat limited bandwidth, it takes a moment to show the list of recent windows along with their tiles. For me, 1-2 seconds is normal, and a bit too much.

cwintab also shows a list of recently used windows, but does so in a console window that naturally contains little graphics, and therefore displays on the screen quite a bit faster.

You will need a Rust installation in order to build this utility.

1. Clone this repo.

2. Build and run:

   cargo run

To "install", you will probably want to do the following:

1. Build:

   cargo build --release

   Now you should have a cwintab.exe in the target\release folder.

2. Create a windows shortcut to the executable and assign it a shortcut key so that it can be started easily.
   I use ctrl+alt+w as keyboard shortcut.
