I would like to switch focus between the tiled windows with keybindings - similarly to how a focused window can be moved around in the current version of Tiling Shell.

  • Personally I would want to bind this to ALT+h/j/k/l
  • Maybe have an additional, fifth, keybinding to cycle through windows that are tiled in the same position (i.e. sits in front of/behind each other).
  • Unsure on how maximized windows should interact with this feature.
    • Maybe maximized windows are considered to be positioned above the top-tiled windows?
    • Or maybe the maximized window is returned to its tiled size and position?
    • Or maybe the feature is disabled when the focused window is full screen?
  • Unsure on how/if floating/non-tiled windows should interact with this feature.
    • Maybe the floating positions of floating windows in relation to the tiled ones are considered when using the keybindings to switch the focus between windows?
    • Maybe they are disregarded?

Standard ALT+TAB-ing in all its glory, but it can be a little clumbsy/imprecise/unpredictable to me.

As always thanks for Tiling Shell and for considering!

It is the only thing missing from the extension for it to be perfect, on my opinion
