Add this code to your ~/.sawfishrc:
```
(require 'jump-or-exec)
```

Here is a sample configuration:

(bind-keys global-keymap
    "W-o" `(jump-or-exec "MGT"         ; window title to jump to
        ,(lambda ()                    ; if the window doesn't exist
           (select-workspace 0)
           (system
            "multi-gnome-terminal --start-factory-server --use-factory &"))
        ,(lambda (wind)                ; if the window is focused already
           (display-window wind)
           (synthesize-event "C-F1" wind)
           (synthesize-event "n" wind))))
