Summary

Cross-Workspace Window Search — full-screen global window search across all workspaces for Cinnamon Desktop.

Press <Super>+<Ctrl>+<Alt>+Up to open a search overlay, type to filter open windows by title or application class, and jump directly to the desired window regardless of which workspace it lives on.

Screenshot

Features

  • Searches all windows across all workspaces in real-time
  • Filter by title or app class (case-insensitive substring match)
  • Keyboard-driven navigation (arrows, Enter, Escape)
  • Workspace badges on each result row
  • Zero panel clutter — invoked only on demand via hotkey

Validation

  • ./validate-spice cinnamon-crossworkspace-window-search@ron-ronzz-org.github.com passes with no errors
  • Tested on Cinnamon 6.4.8 (Linux Mint 22.1)

@Ron-RONZZ-org Could you add an option that allows users to choose their own keyboard shortcut? This is to prevent any conflicts between keyboard shortcuts.
