Feature suggestion: Nice project switcher (with debug indicator)

I posted this feature suggestion a while ago, and got no response. I wanted to check what you guys think about this idea?

TLDR; I'd like to be able to easily switch between my opened projects and quickly see which of these projects have triggered a breakpoint (ie. programmed is paused, debugger waiting).

Background

When I work with lots of related open projects, I find it to be a hassle to navigate between projects, especially when debugging breakpoints are triggered in one or more of the projects.

I currently have seven related projects open. So what happens is I have to hunt with alt-tab to find the project I'm looking for. Doing that is a hassle because of all the other running programs etc. But the bigger problem is when one (or more) projects hits a breakpoint and my project is paused, I have no easy way of knowing which of all projects are waiting. So I have to check all of them to find which one is in debug mode. I noticed that sometimes Intellij auto-switches to the debugged project, but this is not always what I want and may even interfere.

Suggested solution

My idea is to have a panel which shows a list of all currently opened projects and some kind of indicator if a project has triggered a breakpoint and is waiting for input (ie single stepping). Like this:

• A panel inside the project with a list of all currently opened projects. This could also be an external window which can be pinned somewhere on the desktop
• When a breakpoint is triggered in a project, there should be an indicator in the project list showing which project(s) are debugging (a blinking debug icon or something)
• Clicking on a project in the list should switch window to that project
• Good to have: A hotkey for this, ie. a key combination to quickly switch to a specific project

I'd really like to see this feature implemented as I know I'm not the only one having to deal with this and it's a constant hassle.
