Alt-Tab function

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 4 comments

This would be a very useful feature that I would like to have in newm, pressing Alt-Tab to cycle through currently open applications, as Windows, Mac or Linux does on other desktops, it is a feature that not even swaywm has.

This is possibly via configuration right now, but I'm going to add a convenience function to layout to make it easier. I think it's a handy addition.

Currently how could I do it?

If you want to try it yourself, check the layout.py file - however it's probably very hard until this class is documented better.

Anyway - You can now use the method layout.move_next_view() in a shortcut.
