I like flipping using ctrl-tab to flip between workspaces 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4), and ctrl-alt-tab to flip between 1 and 3 (or 2 and 4). In addition, the shift key would take the current active window to the newly selected workspace.
Here's an adhoc patch:
wmmgr.cc:
YWindowManager::grabKeys
> GRAB_WMKEY(gKeySysWorkspaceFlipOdd);
> GRAB_WMKEY(gKeySysWorkspaceFlipEven);
> GRAB_WMKEY(gKeySysWorkspaceFlipOddTakeWin);
> GRAB_WMKEY(gKeySysWorkspaceFlipEvenTakeWin);
YWindowManager::handleWMKey
> } else if (IS_WMKEY(k, vm, gKeySysWorkspaceFlipOdd)) {
> switchToFlippedWorkspace(1, false);
> } else if (IS_WMKEY(k, vm, gKeySysWorkspaceFlipEven)) {
> switchToFlippedWorkspace(2, false);
> } else if (IS_WMKEY(k, vm, gKeySysWorkspaceFlipOddTakeWin)) {
> switchToFlippedWorkspace(1, true);
> } else if (IS_WMKEY(k, vm, gKeySysWorkspaceFlipEvenTakeWin)) {
> switchToFlippedWorkspace(2, true);
void YWindowManager::switchToFlippedWorkspace(int flip, bool takeCurrent)
{
switchToWorkspace(activeWorkspace() ^ flip, takeCurrent);
}
