Window Walker plugin

The window walker plugin matches the user entered query with the open windows on the system.

OpenWindows.cs

  • The window walker plugin uses the EnumWindows function to enumerate all the open windows in the OpenWindows.cs class.

SearchController.cs

  • The SearchController encapsulates the functions needed to search and find matches.
  • It is responsible for updating the search text and performing a fuzzy search on all the open windows in an asynchronous manner.

Window.cs

  • The Window class represents a specific window and has functions to get the name of the process, the state of the window (whether it is visible or not), and the SwitchTowindow function which switches the desktop focus to the selected window. This action is performed when the user clicks on a window walker plugin result.

Score

The window walker plugin uses FuzzyMatching to get the matching indices and calculates the score by creating a 2 dimensional array of the window and the query text.
