cycle through windows in the same position about gnome-shell-extensions-negesti HOT 9 CLOSED

May somebody test this feature?
Thanks.

sry for my late response, had a hart time at work...
Seems to work really good. only thing that's a little bit odd, is if you have 2 small windows "behind" a big one, both are raise to the front when cycling.

But imho the purpose of the whole extension is, that you never end up with a situation like in my screenshot.
For more windows at the same position it works perfect!

Let's give @DavidGamba 2-3 days to test it. After that i close the issue and release a new version on extensions.gnome.org

It does not really cycle. It rather pushes the focussed window to the
background. I changed the description already.

Thanks for updating the description, it makes way more sense if you use it knowing that it is pushing the focused window to the back.
I think the extension is great and you should publish the latest version.
By the way, I was away in summer vacation, sorry for the late response!

Love what you have done with the extension! Thank you so much!

I am sorry, I am testing this a little further but I am confused about the behaviour I am looking for in this ticket.
Super+O works for switching between windows in the same position.

However when I have windows side by side: two windows in the LEFT A (focused-front) and B (behind) and two windows in the RIGHT C(front) and D(behind) switching from A to C causes C to go behind and D to be focused-front. It should be C focused-front instead. But that might be a new issue.

from gnome-shell-extensions-negesti.

To get it:

• A and B are on the left side. Full height, 50% width, A is in the front
• C and D are on the right side. Full height 50% width, C is in the front

If you hit win + O you should stay on the same side (e.g. A->B->A on the left). Switching from A to C or D is only possible with win + L. Here you can use win + O again (C-D-C-D..).

If win + O switches from the left side (A) to the right (C or D), that's a problem with window positioning. aka the windows overlap and don't have exactly 50% width.

What application(s) have you used?

from gnome-shell-extensions-negesti.

win + O works properly, so this ticket in particular can be closed (sorry for the confusion).

yes, I am using win + L to switch from A to C with the dimensions you described. I would like that when I use win + L to switch from A to C, C would gain focus instead of D. But yes, in that case I can use win + O to gain focus of C again. I would just like to save myself that extra key since I had C already focused, but this is a different feature request. Should I create a ticket for it?

from gnome-shell-extensions-negesti.

ok i tried again and now i was able to reproduce it.
The problem occurs because all four windows are on different "layers". If you focus C once (using win + L and win +O) switching between the two side using J and L should work as expected.

This is actually still an residual of #28. It is now fixed.
Please test.
