activate only windows in Stack area

[ertwro]

Hi. I don't know if is possible to add a hotkey to only move between windows in the stack area. I know there's the function View_activateWindow(0, +1) which changes between windows in the active tag. I know there's View_activateWindow(1) to change to the master area, so maybe is just a syntax thing I'm no seeing here.

For instance if my configuration is:

View_#1_#2_layout_#2=2
View_#1_#2_layoutAxis_#2=1
View_#1_#2_layoutAxis_#3=3

I want to be able to move only between the six windows in this hypothetical stack. 1x1|6

Currently, there is no given possibility for doing this.

Theoretically, you may copy View_activateWindow and change the line, which is 73 in src/View.ahk, to i := Manager_loop(j, d, View_#% Manager_aMonitor%_#%v%_layoutMX * View_#% Manager_aMonitor%_#%v%_layoutMY, wndId0), but will have to make sure, that there are enough windows in the stack.

Oh, good to know. I thought I wasn't understanding the syntax. I tried replacing the 1 in loop of line 73 with View_#%Manager_aMonitor%_#%v%_layoutMX * View_#%Manager_aMonitor%_#%v%_layoutMY without success as the same behavior of regular View_activateWindow occurs.

If I try, for instance, the following instead

 View_#%m%_#%v%_layoutMX * View_#%m%_#%v%_layoutMY

the result is It only moves between the top and bottom window in the stack. Which is an interesting behavior when I have only two windows there, but there's no cycling through the stack.

I mean, while the stack area is in monocle layout I get a little disoriented and is a small annoyance but it keeps getting on my nerves.

Couldn't make this work but even only top and bottom of the stack is better than before. Thanks for the help.
