I've been looking for a utility that will let me look at a window on another monitor, see a hint, focus it. It seems as though this utility only works within windows rather than between them though, if I have understood the sales pitch correctly.

I'm coming to MacOS from a Linux tiling WM. I'm so used to being able to jump between monitors and switch windows directionally without having to grab the mouse.

Alt-tab / window search workflows are a non-starter: I can see the window I want to focus, I shouldn't have to pick it out of a menu or have to type the window title.

Does anyone know of any utilities that might fit the bill?

You could also check out hammerspoon[3] and see if there are any sample configurations that could do directional focus.[4]
