Wayland, Switching between & focusing windows with just hotkeys?

Edit: I want a graphical window switcher that's fully keyboard controlled, so I can see the windows before switching them.

The screenshot is from hyprland-easymotion which only shows labels for visible windows. I want a switcher that allows for both switching to windows or the same, or from any app, using just the keyboard and no mouse.

Ideally I could go to a window without pressing tab or another key a bunch of times, perhaps select any window (visible or not) with a letter like easymotion.

Sway. Windows manager, switcher... all that. Fully keyboard controlled. You can change any key combination you don't like. :)

Does sway have a built-in GUI switcher, or any 3rd party switchers like I described?

A tiling windows manager with workspaces IS a switcher.

So this is not exactly what you want, but have you seen the rofi -show window feature? There's no preview of the window, but it does display the title even if the window is not on the current workspace.

rofi works in Wayland now? I know there's like a fork that supports Wayland?

The fork was merged into rofi, See the Announcement at the top of the readme for the fork.
