Please do not assume that anyone knows what other window managers do
(especially non-existent anymore). You should explain in full details how
you see this binding working. There are a lot of issues like whether to
circulate-raise-only on the current page, current desk or all desks.
Whether to warp to window on not. What to do in the situation if there is
a window that is currently under the focussed window and fully covers it.
If we raise it, should the fully non-visible window remain focused or not?
Ok, here is a solution that may work for you (I think it works in 2.5.x
only; in older versions, Next always starts from Current regardless of
the window context):
DestroyFunc CirculateRaiseWindows
AddToFunc CirculateRaiseWindows
+ I WindowId $[LAST_RAISED_WID] Next (!Iconic) SetEnv LAST_RAISED_WID $$$$$$$$[w.id]
+ I WindowId $[LAST_RAISED_WID] Raise
# Press Shift-Alt-Escape to reset this circulate-raise
Key Escape A SM Current SetEnv LAST_RAISED_WID $$$$[w.id]
# Press Alt-Escape to circulate-raise
Key Escape A M CirculateRaiseWindows
But this only works well with ClickToFocus policy, or if here is only one
window under your pointer, otherwise Raise may result in Focus and this
changes the circulate window list, so you may press much more Alt-Escape
keys in this case to return to the starting window.
And, finally, if you want just to see all windows at once, even currently
lowered under other windows, then you probably want WindowList (the
default Alt-Tab binding) or FvwmProxy module instead.
