Asking for tool that effectively jump between windows
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Most of the time I use mouse / Alt-tab to select windows in working screen. I don't think it's a convenient way.
Is there any other effective way/tool that help quickly jump between windows?
I'm especially looking for some tools that select windows by name (like Super+F, type "chrom", jump to Google Chrome).
Autojump, found in currently supported Ubuntu repos, does an excellent work on changing directory command line, but I cannot find this kind of tool for working windows.

What if you have multiple Google Chrome windows in your example?

I've suggested Rofi. In that link, typing "git" and pressing Enter would open that particular window Chrome window because GitHub is a unique item in that list. Rofi allows the user to rapidly filter out non-related windows. I'm assuming there'll be some way, based on the title or application, to distinguish between open windows.
