"Alt+Tab" like Menu

rt_switcher.qml with quickshell is used to create the window.

• socat would be a dependancy that is used in the quickshell window.

rt_switcher.qml should be placed in /etc/xdg/quickshell/rt_switcher/shell.qml to work with the default config,
as it uses qs -c rt_switcher to spawn it.

• On Nix this path is created automaticly.

to open the menu the quickshell ipc can be used with qs -c rt_switcher ipc call main toggle.

Note

the frame images are created in /tmp with file names like red-foot-1.ppm
