[Bug] "wm-cycle-focus" not working as expected

[rosscondie]

Describe the bug

Running version 3.1.1 with Windows 11.

I have two windows of the same application running (e.g Intelli J) on one workspace which are currently tiled. I want to be able to change the focus from tiling -> floating for the entire workspace and then be able to move them both around.

At the moment the only work around to change from tiling to floating is to use the "toggle-floating --centered" to be floating which floats the focused window but leaves the other tiled.

I noticed upon download the "wm-cycle-focus" was commented out so uncommented an played around with different bindings thinking that the default was already set to something else but still no luck.

Is this default behaviour? Or something that is maybe yet to be implemented?

Thanks 👋

Still no luck with this, I have tried to implement the wm-cycle-focus binding to switch from tiling to floating on a specific workspace but it doesn't work?

Is there anyway to workaround this opposed to having 2 windows on a workspace tiled, floating one an then focusing the other one to float that? I want to float all available windows in one workspace.

The command is working as expected, it's supposed to change the focus from a tiling|fullscreen|floating window to another type

I'm having the same issue—no floatting appears after pressing the bound key. Here is my configuration:

general:
  # Commands to run when the WM has started. This is useful for running a
  # script or launching another application.
  # Example: The below command launches Zebar.
  # startup_commands: ['shell-exec zebar']
  startup_commands: ['shell-exec gat-gwm.exe']

  # Commands to run just before the WM is shutdown.
  # Example: The below command kills Zebar.
  # shutdown_commands: ['shell-exec taskkill /IM zebar.exe /F']
  shutdown_commands: ['shell-exec taskkill /IM gat-gwm.exe /F']

  # Commands to run after the WM config is reloaded.
