The dependency is rofi.

Bind the following script to any key you like:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

select=$( echo -e "Windows\nApps" | rofi -dmenu )
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    if [[ $select == "Windows" ]]; then
        rofi -show window
    elif [[ $select == "Apps" ]]; then
        rofi -show drun
    fi
fi

If you are into fish then the script will look like:

#!/usr/bin/env fish

set -l test_string "kill -9 $fish_pid"
set -l pairs "()" "[]" "{}" '""' "''"

echo (string sub --start=6 --length=2 -- "$test_string")

if contains (string sub --start=6 --length=2 -- "$test_string") $pairs
    echo "con"
end
