Problem: moving along windows.
Added by Constantine Pokrovsky over 13 years ago
I am spawning several fullscreen terminals with central gravity. It seems to be logical to arrange the windows in a kind of linear structure, like a list or an array. But I do not see any actions like :WindowNext or :WindowPrev to switch between the elements of such a list. :WindowUp, :WindowDown, :WindowLeft behave somehow wired switching just two of them instead of all. :WindowRight and :WindowLower usually do the trick switching all the elements in a sequential order but not all the time. I am running version 0.9.2773. Can you recommend any solution of the problem?

Instead of using e.g. WindowLeft use WindowLower. Subtle stacks windows and with WindowLower you move the selected window to the bottom of the window stack. Normally WindowLeft etc. shouldn't select stacked windows, looks like there is a flaw in the algorithm.

Ok. Seems that both WindowLeft and WindowLower were binded to the same key. But is there any way to move backward? I mean in the direction opposite to WindowLower's.

Thanks. 5 minutes of scripting did the job. Now it seems that choosing a WM with Ruby-based frontend was a good idea. The WM is friendly to a user as the language itself.
