focusstack - bakkeby/dusk GitHub Wiki

The focusstack function allows for focusing on clients up and down the client stack.

Passing +1 to the function will make it change focus in a clockwise way, while passing -1 will make it change focus in a counterclockwise way.

By default the focusstack function will allow the focus to drift across visible workspaces, and in turn across monitors.

The latter can be disabled with the RestrictFocusstackToMonitor function, but focus can still drift from one workspace to another if more than one workspace is visible on a monitor.

Optionally the function can also be used to focus on hidden clients (in order to unhide them using the keyboard alone). This is done by passing +2 and -2 as the function arguments.

External commands:

duskc run_command focusstack 1   # focus on the next client in the stack
duskc run_command focusstack -1  # focus on the previous client in the stack
duskc run_command focusstack 2   # focus on the next client in the stack incl. hidden clients
duskc run_command focusstack -2  # focus on the previous client in the stack incl. hidden clients
