feature request LIFO #4

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi,

Thank you a lot for implementing hot keys to run application when it isn't 
opened yet. It works awesome!

Would it be possible to implement the last important thing: 

Rise on a hot key the last active window instead of the first one. In order to 
access  the last active window it is required to press a few times the same key 
now. 
In other words - to make windows accessible as LIFO

I think it was mention on your blog before.

Thank you for your work!

Indeed, it's a planned feature. However this feature won't work well with 
chained shortcuts (e.g. mod+x+c) as they will change constantly, so I believe 
we'll need an option for those who prefer the current behavior.

The related feature is to recover state of windows that were raised during 
window cycling except the last one (e.g. set previous position in window stack, 
probably minimize window). I think these two features will play nicely together 
and will be better alternative to chained shortcuts. So I'm going to implement 
them together during the same release cycle, probably, for xatk 0.3, but we'll 
see...

I'm not quite active now because I broke my hand and because of other work. But 
I'm quite sure this feature will be available in xatk sooner or later. So stay 
tuned!
