Bug Description

I think it would be interesting to have a "delay" option in all the window switcher plugins - or at least the Ring Switcher, the one I'm using, as I haven't tested the behaviour of all other switchers.

The point is: sometimes you're changing between two windows constantly - like a document and a chat - and all you need is basically a quick alt+tab to move between the two. However, some plugins like the Ring does a lot of overlays and movements, that seems quite ugly when you're doing it fast and not paying attention to what's happening in the screen - since you know the final result: moving to the last screen I was.

Thus, would be nice to have a sort of delay for the animations to occur, something that would catch quick alt+tab presses but not hinder the UX for when you need to find the window you want.
