/dwm-goback

Patch for dwm that enables going back to the previously focused tagset not restricted to the focused monitor

dwm-goback

This patch for dwm adds a function named goback which allows activating the previously active tagset and binds it to MODKEY+g. Unlike dwm's view function (bound to MODKEY+Tab by default), goback registers when you focus another monitor.

Examples

  • You are on your first monitor and switch from tag 1 to tag 2. Then goback (MODKEY+g) brings you back to tag 1 (like MODKEY+Tab).
  • Next, you focus your third monitor (which is showing tags 3 and 4), no matter if your use your mouse or a shortcut like MODKEY+comma. Then goback (MODKEY+g) brings the focus back to your first monitor (tag 1). Pressing MODKEY+g again brings you back to the third monitor (tags 3 and 4).
