These commands implement something much close to Microsoft Windows’ Alt-TAB mechanism, working with a stack of recently used windows.
Cycle through all windows inside the same group. This is somewhat comparable to the Control-TAB behavior of Windows OS.
Cycle through windows at the top of each group.
Cycle through all windows whose titles match that of the initial window (up to, but not including, the first colon).
Cycle through all windows whose classes match that of the initial window.
Cycle through all windows in the dock, even those with the
cycle-skip
property.
Each of these cycling commands may include windows that are not visible on-screen.
If true, Sawfish includes iconified windows when cycling. Defaults to true.
If true, Sawfish includes windows on all workspaces when cycling. Defaults to false.
If true, Sawfish includes windows on all viewports when cycling. Defaults to false.
It is possible to configure the cycling to get more feedback during the process.
If true, Sawfish displays window names and icons while cycling through windows. Defaults to true.
If true, Sawfish raises windows while they’re temporarily selected
during cycling, and invokes warp-pointer-if-necessary
.
Defaults to true.
It is also possible for you to define your own stacking cycle commands, or even to alter the window stack to suit your tastes.
Create a command that will not cause the current cycle operation to abort before execution.
All arguments are passed to define-command.
Create a pair of commands for cycling through windows. The command named forward-name cycles forwards, while the command named reverse-name cycles backwards.
Selector is called when initializing the cycle environment, it should return the list of windows to cycle through, or the symbol ‘t’ to denote all cyclable windows.
Any extra arguments are passed to each call to define-command.
Return managed windows in most-recently used order.
If workspace is non-nil, then only managed windows in that workspace will be returned.
If allow-iconified is non-nil, then iconified windows will be returned instead of ignored.
If all-viewports is non-nil, then windows in all viewports will be returned, instead of just the current viewport.
Push window w onto the top of the cycle stack.
Remove window w from the cycle stack.
Return the most-recently focused window in the current workspace. If the windows argument is given it should be a list of windows, in this case the function will restrict its search to the elements of this list.
Switch input focus to the most-recently focused window in the current workspace.
