Parla, Delta Chat client for GNOME, has a somewhat similar “quick chat switcher” feature: you can press Ctrl-K, search for the chat in the search popup, and immediately jump to it. This is faster than filtering the chatlist in Delta Chat Desktop, where I press Ctrl+F, type the chat name, then assuming the first search result is the correct one I still have to press Enter once to go to the search results and Enter again to switch to this chat, and at this point the search is still active so I need to press X to get full chatlist back.
