WindowDeck

WindowDeck is its own plugin

The Arrange strip moved out of LayoutKeeper into its own plugin, WindowDeck. Your strip settings and your Win+Alt+A hotkey move over once, with the same values.

WindowDeck shows the windows that LayoutKeeper sees, so keep LayoutKeeper on.

Quieter Win+Alt+A

The taskbar number badges now appear only if you wait 0.7 seconds without typing a digit.

Digits in WindowDeck

A digit opens the window with that number on its card. Ctrl+digit jumps to the app at that taskbar button.

Open WindowDeck with Win+1 to Win+9

This option is new and off by default. You find it in the settings of WindowDeck, named "Open WindowDeck with Win+1…9". Win+Shift, Win+Ctrl and Win+Alt with a digit stay with Windows. A pinned app that is not running still starts as before.
