The "Next ... Focus" command is what I've been doing... and while I
agree that running an external command with every page switch is
excessive... well... let's just say there are few things more powerful
than my desire to procrastinate doing my philosophy assignment.
and so I give you: fvwm-track-focus *trumpets: ta-da*
use at your own risk... it stores the Focused window id's in a tmp
file, and then sends commands back to fvwm via PipeRead. I think it
would be better implemented as a Module, but I'm lazy, and my
p3:450mhz has no noticible delay doing it, so I'm happy. it's way
better than having to alt-tab every time I switch pages to find the
window I want.
here's what I added to my .fvwm2rc:
PipeRead 'fvwm-track-focus /home/pmcalpin/tmp/fvwm.tf.dat init'
DestroyFunc GotoPageRaise
AddToFunc GotoPageRaise
+ "I" Current PipeRead 'fvwm-track-focus /home/pmcalpin/tmp/fvwm.tf.dat $[page.nx] $[page.ny] $w'
+ "I" GotoPage $0 $1
+ "I" PipeRead 'fvwm-track-focus /home/pmcalpin/tmp/fvwm.tf.dat $0 $1'
and then an example binding is:
Key KP_Home A N GotoPageRaise 0 0
don't forget to change what I've done for your own system... I assume
your paths are different than mine. You probably want to look at
fvwm-track-focus.c before you compile, too.
enjoy (or not),
peter =)
