This add-on allows you to perform some operations on the focused window or the process associated with it. When killing a process, or showing / hiding a window a confirmation beep is played when the action succeeds. If you find this annoying you can disable these beeps in the Win Wizard's settings panel available from NVDA's settings dialog.

Keyboard commands:

All these commands can be remapped from the Input gestures dialog in the Win Wizard category.

Hiding and showing hidden windows:

NVDA+Windows+numbers from 1 to 0 - hides currently focused window in the slot corresponding to the pressed number
NVDA+Windows+left arrow - moves to the previous stack of hidden windows.
NVDA+Windows+right arrow - moves to the next stack of hidden windows.
Windows+Shift+h - hides the currently focused window in the first available slot
NVDA+Windows+h - shows the last hidden window
Windows+Shift+l - shows the list of all hidden windows grouped by the stacks (please note that by default last hidden window is selected)

Managing processes:

Windows+F4 - kills the process associated with the currently focused window
NVDA+Windows+p - opens dialog allowing you to set priority of the process associated with the currently focused window
