Moving window focus by keystroke about gnome-shell-extensions-negesti HOT 9 CLOSED

sounds like a good idea. getting a list of all windows of the current workspace should be quite easy (/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/altTab.js#_getAppLists looks promising)

Any idea which keybinding to use? is alt + numpad ok or do you know any application that uses this binding?

from gnome-shell-extensions-negesti.

I would suggest to leave it open. I would prefer mod4+[j,i,k,l] von west, north, south and east, because I have the window movement keys on the left hand (mod4+[q,w,e,a,s,d,[y,z],x,c]). My intention is to not move my hands at all while dealing with windows. When i move my hands to the keypad i could move to the mouse (which is 5cm further).

Would that be a good idea?

The settings window allows to change the keybinding. Was just looking for a usable default option. The default value is now mod4 + j,k,l,i.

Would be nice if you can test the feature (just pushed).

Hi,

tested it on Ubuntu 12.04 (Gnome-Shell 3.4.1).
Focussing did not work. In moveFocus.js I imported
const Main = imports.ui.main;
and changed:
sortedX[index].window.focus(display.get_current_time());
sortedX[index].window.raise();
to
Main.activateWindow(sortedX[index].window);
then it worked. :)

Has API changed?

Update moveFocus to use Main.activateWindow (works with 3.6.3.1).
Only thing that's missing is a test on two screen setup. I will check this when i'm back in office.
--> new version @extensions.gnome.org will be available soon

I'll test it at the office as well. Thank you very much.

It works across displays.
But the default shortcuts are set j for east and l for west. It should be the other way around.

Thank you for implementing this feature.
