Maybe what you want is a foot pedal that emits a ‘C-x o’ when pressed,
and another ‘C-x o’ when released. Something like vim-pedal[1] but for
Emacs.

Or an eye-tracking camera that focuses whichever window you are looking at.

(Me, I’m content with binding my local equivalent[^2] of s-[esdf] to
windmove-{up,left,down,right}-cycle.)

[^2]: It’s actually M-s-[frst] due to using the Colemak layout and
having two thumb modifier keys, one mapped to Super and the other to
Super+Alt. Super+[frst] switches i3 tiled windows and Super+Alt+[frst]
switches panes in whatever application is in focus — Emacs, Kitty
terminal, tmux if running in a single-paned Kitty tab.
