                                    if (verbose) Console.WriteLine("Waiting for desktop to change from: '" + VirtualDesktop.Desktop.DesktopNameFromDesktop(VirtualDesktop.Desktop.Current) + "' (desktop number " + rc + ")");
                                    while (rc == VirtualDesktop.Desktop.FromDesktop(VirtualDesktop.Desktop.Current)) {
                                        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5);
                                    }
                                    break;                      
                                }
                                if (verbose) Console.WriteLine("Current desktop: '" + VirtualDesktop.Desktop.DesktopNameFromDesktop(VirtualDesktop.Desktop.Current) + "' (desktop number " + rc + ")");
                                break;

adds an option to wait until the user changes to another desktop eg switch to desktop 2, then as soon as they move elsewhere yank them back to 0

 .\VirtualDesktop.exe /switch:2  /WDC  /switch:0

if you prefer i can make a PR, however it's such a trivial change, you may prefer to just implement it yourself

Hello @jonathan-annett,

thank you for your suggestion.

But to be honest, I don't see the point in building a function that waits for a user to switch desktops. Virtualdesktop is a tool to change desktops, not to wait for this.

Additionally I have the concept of making a One Shot Tool.

All good. I've forked and moved on. Good luck with your project
