GNOME extension to fast switch between windows using keybindings.

This extension overwrites the default switch-to-application-N keybindings. The default GNOME functionalities brings up all windows of the application when this keybind is triggered. This extension brings up only the last focused window.

keybind	action
<Super>1..3	Run or raise last window of application 1, 2 or 3
<Super>j	Raise the last seen window of the currently focused application
<Super>k	Raise the last seen window NOT of the currently focused application (e.i. alt+tab)
<Super>,	Raise the last seen window NOT of the predefined applications 1, 2 or 3

Customization

# Sets <Super>1 shortcut to run or raise ghostty
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.gfs shortcut-1-wm-class "com.mitchellh.ghostty"
# Sets ghosty to run or raise on <Super>t
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.gfs shortcut-1-keybind "['<Super>t']"
