Make workspace grid to wrap (1.38 KB, patch)
2005-05-22 12:22 UTC, Pauli Virtanen 		none Details | Review

Description Pauli Virtanen 2005-05-22 12:21:00 UTC 
Currently when navigating between the workspaces using the
move_to_workspace_{left,right,up,down} shortcut keys, the workspace
grid behaves as if it had boundaries. That is, for example in a
4x1 grid, it takes 3 keypresses to navigate from the first workspace
to the last.

I think it would be better to have the grid behave as if its
boundaries wrapped around, so that in a 4x1 grid workspace 4
would be the left neighbour of 1 and vice versa. This would
effectively reduce the average number of keystrokes needed to
reach another workspace, when browsing workspaces using
the keyboard. I do not see why the current behavior would
be better. as it only disables some navigation keys.

Make workspace grid to wrap

Proposed implementation for the feature.

This patch makes workspace neighbour relation to wrap around
at the boundaries of the workspace grid.
