Is there interest in next/previous desktop functionality?

Hiya, loving berry to bits - such a lovely Unix experience. I'm also the new KISS Linux maintainer for the package. 🙂

I've written a simple shell script that allows me to switch desktops or switch+move windows to the next/previous desktop, with wraparound. Is there any interest in adding this functionality to berry, or are you happy for it to stay as a scriptable addition?

I'm probably happy either way. On the one hand I like to keep the size of the project small in the interest of keeping berry very unix-like. However, I also recognize that some functionality which is often used is more convenient to manage inside of berry.

This should be a super quick implementation (I can't imagine this is more than like a 15-line change), so I'd be happy to add it.

There are some other potential options as well. We could consider adding a scripts directory (or perhaps a different repository) that contains commonly-used scripts that people can use. At that point, however, it's still just more stuff to maintain and might be better suited to be a berry feature itself.

I'd be happy if you added it, I think it's a worthwhile addition, and especially if it's that small. I do feel the draw of keeping the codebase as simple as possible! I guess a reason for adding it, even though it can be trivially scripted, is to mirror the window focus switching command - it feels like a similar sort of functionality.

I'm also happy to add that script to a repository, but I agree that it's always easier maintaining as little as possible!

I have modified my local version to add "switch_ws_relative" and "send_to_ws_relative" to berryc, the changes are in here if you are interested :)

berryc prev_workspace
berryc cycle_workspace true/false
