[Feature] Move to panel, instead of in current stack

Open GTonehour opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

I often need N windows in my desktop, but only want to display n<N at the same time.

Which means at least one window (let's call it B) is hidden and when I want to show one, I need it to show it in place of a window previously displayed (A), to keep n windows displayed. (Same when I want to switch back to displaying A instead of B.)

I would typically use Alt+Tab to switch between displaying A or B.

To achieve that, I could minimize A. But that's something I would need to do each time I switch back and forth between displaying A and B.

A simpler way is to place both A and B in a stack panel. But I'd typically use the "Move" features of the TWM to move:

  1. not between A and B which are in the same stack panel (because they would typically be the most recent window accessible with Alt-Tab),
  2. but between that stack panel and adjacent panels.

Current "Move to window" FancyWM commands achieve 1. Could we have a "Move to panel" in addition to it, to achieve 2?
