Move window in stack

[jbriales]

I have some skhd bindings to move a window within a stack. Technically this can be done e.g. with yabai -m window --swap stack.prev BUT this will change focus to the other window, losing focus from the current one.

A fix/workaround is to do like this: yabai -m window --swap stack.prev; yabai -m window --focus stack.prev

However this results in some visual flicker effect since the other window is focused for a brief moment.

Other things I tried:

...

yabai -m window --swap stack.prev --focus stack.prev This does not work

Specify to focus the initial window in the same command:

yabai -m window --swap stack.prev --focus $(yabai -m query --windows id --window | jq -r .id) This has a shorter flicker but still has it.

Q:

Is there some alternative I'm missing? Otherwise, would it make sense for the --swap command to keep focus on the currently selected window? Or at least make the behavior on which window to focus after the swap an option?

Agreed. It makes more sense to leave the focus on the window you are stacking currently.
