toggle window history

[aloispichler]

Description

I have seen

bind= ALT, Tab, workspace, m+1        # next workspace
bind= ALT Shift, Tab, workspace, m-1  # previous workspace

recently, and this works nicely. And it would be nice, however, to have

bind= ALT, Tab, workspace, h-1         # back in history
bind= ALT Shift, Tab, workspace, h+1   # forward

to toggle the history of workspaces back- and forth, or

bind= ALT, Tab, window, h+1            # window history
bind= ALT Shift, Tab, window, h-1

for windows. Why is it important? Because alt+tab can be comfortably run with one, the left hand only. This is often better than regular window or workspace switching keybinds.

not sure if there's a forward, but there's going back in history: workspace, previous

Yes, true; there is even focuscurrentorlast, which is often better. But they all have limited functionality. Unfortunately, they discard and ignore the history except the very last workspace/ window.

hyprswitch solves the Alt-Tab problem.
