stackfocus

Function	Expected argument	Default keybindings
stackfocus	int	Listed separately further down

The stackfocus function allows for focusing on clients at specific positions in the client stack on a workspace.

Refer to the stacker page for a rundown on setup instructions and how this works.

Below is an explanation for what the default keybindings do.

Default keybindings (when enabled)	Description
AltGr+Ctrl+w	Focus on the client at the first position in the stack
AltGr+Ctrl+e	Focus on the client at the second position in the stack
AltGr+Ctrl+a	Focus on the client at the third position in the stack
AltGr+Ctrl+z	Focus on the client at the last position in the stack
AltGr+Ctrl+j	Focus on the next client in the stack
AltGr+Ctrl+k	Focus on the previous client in the stack
AltGr+Ctrl+s	Focus on the previously selected client

External commands:

duskc run_command stackfocus 1     # focus on the client at the first position in the stack
duskc run_command stackfocus 2     # focus on the client at the second position in the stack
duskc run_command stackfocus 3     # focus on the client at the third position the stack

duskc run_command stackfocus 1999  # focus on the previous client in the stack
duskc run_command stackfocus 2001  # focus on the next client in the stack
duskc run_command stackfocus 3000  # focus on the previously selected client
duskc run_command stackfocus 4001  # focus on the first master client
duskc run_command stackfocus 4002  # focus on the second master client

duskc run_command stackfocus 5002  # focus on the second stack client

Tip: this can also be set up with key modes or key chains when using sxhkd to handle keybindings.

This is intended to be combined with the stackpush and stackswap commands.
