Witch looks awesome, and I think has a killer feature I've been looking for for a while on linux (slightly off topic).

I use rofi on linux to surface a dialog that allows me to execute programs, surface an X window, or change to a different tmux session. Rofi natively supports the first two, the tmux pane/session switcher being a little 10 line extension I wrote in bash.

I love rofi and the ability to do this, but there is a 'white whale' in this workflow setup that I have not been able to crack: A rofi dialog that displays and surfaces browser tabs. I have fought with chromium dev mode/flags/options on several occasions trying to plumb together something like this, but cannot for the life of me figure it out; apparently chromium does not really want you to get a list of tabs from outside the browser.

Has anyone with a similar workflow found a solution for this? I'd be willing to switch browsers, or try anything really.
