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.
I think you want something similar to my setup... I rarely position and focus windows with the mouse.. only for certain apps that don't resize well into my predefined regions. I believe it's somewhat similar to what Rectangle can do on OS/X, although I only stumbled upon that later.
Here's something I put together for the (not-hyperland) compositor LabWC: https://github.com/labwc/labwc/issues/1001(and have done similar with X11/OpenBox previously) which might serve as explanation and inspiration. Your post inspired me to rebase and clean up the patch, so thanks.
