run-or-raise
- Cycle through your windows efficiently thanks to the run-or-raise extension. It now fully supports layered shortcuts and is able to match the windows not only by title but by their wm_class and wm_class_instance names.

You're using function keys wrong
For my Gnomies, the Run-or-raise extension [0] is stellar. It does exactly what it says: you bind a key combo to a launcher command, and optionally define a windowname or wm_class query to check for the existence of the program before it's launched. If it's running it's raised, if it's not then it's run. It has options for the window behaviour after toggling, optionally minimising the programs etc.
I can't rate it highly enough. It helped me finally step away from my decade-long i3wm-adhd addition, where everything else failed.

I suggest using Rectangle instead of Magnet; it has the same features but is free. I don't know what other Windows features you want to have.
