A new feature that seems to be turning up in GNOME 3.x and some other
DEs is the ability to cycle between windows of a specific application,
by default bound to Alt-` (or whichever key is above Tab). How would I
go about emulating this in Openbox, and are there plans to implement
something similar?
I'm not familiar with C so I'm not sure how to implement such a feature,
but a configuration variable might be something like
<single>BOOL</single> that could go in the window action, e.g.
<keybind key="A-grave">
<action name="NextWindow">
<bar>no</bar>
<dialog>yes</dialog>
<raise>no</raise>
* <single>yes</single>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="A-S-grave">
<action name="PreviousWindow">
<bar>no</bar>
<dialog>yes</dialog>
<raise>no</raise>
* <single>yes</single>
</action>
</keybind>
What do people think of this idea?
Robbie
