Add 'Toggle to most recent virtual desktop'

Open jbmestelan opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Many thanks for FancyWM; it is very useful, even though I would like to suggest adding a feature: the ability to move back to the previously visited virtual desktop.

Use-case: I like to use several (9) virtual desktops, each containing one or several applications by theme (1 would be the IDEs, 2 the text editors, 3 the terminals,...). It often happens that I need to shortly visit an other desktop (e.g. to copy content, ...) then come back to the original one. Sure, it is possible to do: Switch to 3, then Switch to 1. But it is easier on the fingers and on the brain to do: Switch to 3, then Switch back to previous. Also, this shortcut is very convenient if you repeatedly toggle between two desktops for a given activity.

The use-case above is inspired by XMonad, which has toggleWS: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Actions-CycleWS.html Thank you for your attention.
