One of the things I've found to be missing from any X window manager I've
tried is the MS Windows way of window focus switching. For those of you
who are not familiar, I will explain:
Windows "A B C D E" are open (not necessarily visible)
Window "A" is in focus
User switches from Window "A" to Window "B"
Window list looks like "B A C D E"
User switches from Window "B" to Window "E"
Window list "E B A C D"
The point is that the previously used window becomes the second item in
the window list. This makes it very convenient to switch between two
windows without having to cycle through all of them (which seems to be
the case in all window managers I've used).
I am curious if anybody has implemented this in fvwm2 and if not, could
somebody direct me to the place in the code where I could find the
handling of the keyboard window focus changing? I'd like to take a stab
at this myself if it's not too difficult.
Thanks.
Mike.
