Very nice!

Coincidentally, my other open-source project is an incremental-search
(or "find-as-you-type") window switcher, called superswitcher:

Once installed, use the Super key (aka the Windows key) to switch
windows (using the arrow or Tab keys, or start typing and Enter to
cycle between matches), but also do things like create and delete
workspaces on demand (Super-Insert and Super-Delete), and also (in the
upcoming 0.3) drag and drop windows between workspaces.  A whole stack
of cool stuff.  :-)
