Description of the new feature / enhancement

Adding Multi Desktop enhancement into the PowerToys collection will help multi taskers a lot. Current version doesn't have any shortcuts other than linear switching with ctrl + win + L/R
It'd be great we can switch to specefic desktop with hot key & main part, after switching desktop name will be shown in the center or somewhere for one or two seconds so that we know which window we jumped to while Ctrl Win Arrows

Here is the additional app which is already been made. But I think Microsoft should have not abandoned its own pro feature halfway.

Scenario when this would be used?

I work as a Project Manager who has 10 repos open simultaneously on every desktop along with other supporting windows. and Skype pinned for All Desktop windows. Right now it's too confusing to switch windows as I cannot be sure which one I switched to, it's too time consuming & effort taking to go from the first desktop to the last one while passing through all desktops in between. As per my personal requirement, Flashing the Desktop name for a second is more useful than additional hotkeys

There are several other issues related to virtual desktops which read similar to what you are proposing here. Could your review these and close or refine this issue afterward? /needinfo
