Using Automator to recall open Windows of (multiple) Applications

automatorkeyboard

I would like to assign numbers to open Windows of (multiple) Applications with a keyboard shortcuts like:

Cmd+1 (different numbers for different windows)

and then recall them (along with their Desktop/space) with a keyboard shortcut like:

+1

Some of the main Applications I use are iTerm, Emacs, Chrome, Outlook (Calendar) and Outlook (Inbox).

The specific modifier for each action does not matter much. I used to do this with AutoHotkey in Windows. How can I do this with Mac OS X? I was told Automator can help with this (IronAHK seems to not be available anymore)

I do not know the effectiveness of assigning numbers to the windows,

since I would forget who is who after the third window or after 5 minutes.

I use the cmd + tab to see the open windows and then select the one I want.

That works showing open windows by application, and to see them within the application like Chrome use the ctrl + tab.

But that's me, so let's hope someone will be kind enough to spend time writing the script for you since you asked so nicely.
