Function Expected argument Default keybindings
stackswap int Listed separately further down

The stackswap function allows for clients at specific positions in the client stack on a workspace to swap places.

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+Shift+w Swap the client with the first client in the stack
AltGr+Shift+e Swap the client with the second client in the stack
AltGr+Shift+a Swap the client with the third client in the stack
AltGr+Shift+z Swap the client above the last client the stack
AltGr+Shift+j Swap the client down the stack
AltGr+Shift+k Swap the client up the stack
AltGr+Shift+s Swap the client with the previously selected client

When it comes to focus change when swapping the general principle is that:

  • focus remains with the currently selected client
  • unless one of the two clients is a master client, in which case focus will remain with the window left in the master area following the swap

External commands:

duskc run_command stackswap 1     # swap the client with the first client in the stack
duskc run_command stackswap 2     # swap the client with the second client in the stack
duskc run_command stackswap 3     # swap the client with the third client in the stack
duskc run_command stackswap -1    # swap the client with the last client tin he stack
duskc run_command stackswap 1999  # swap the client up the stack
duskc run_command stackswap 2001  # swap the client down the stack
duskc run_command stackswap 3000  # swap the client to the previously selected client
duskc run_command stackswap 4001  # swap with the first master client
duskc run_command stackswap 4002  # swap with the second master client
duskc run_command stackswap 5001  # swap with the first stack client
duskc run_command stackswap 5002  # swap with the second stack client
duskc run_command stackswap 5003  # swap with the third 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 stackfocus and stackpush commands.

Also see the pushup and pushdown functions.
