Description Bastien Nocera 2002-04-30 01:26:07 UTC 
I'd like to be able to move back to the first workspace when I'm pressing
"Ctrl+Alt+Right" and I'm in the last workspace, vice-versa for the first one.

This is probably a very small change to the source, and maybe the addition
of a preference (although I don't see why somebody would disable this).

Would you agree to include this in CVS if I was to submit a patch ?
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2002-04-30 01:36:58 UTC 
Just so that I remember when I make the patch (and can test it),
changes are required only in src/display.c
meta_display_get_workspace_by_index().

        * src/workspace.c: (meta_workspace_get_neighbor):
        Wrap-around workspaces (ie. when on the last workspace,
        "switch_to_workspace_right" goes back to the
        first one)

Fixed with a working version.

Reopening this, as it was dumped some time ago.

Havoc, can you let me know what would be needed to readd this?
Comment 6 Havoc Pennington 2003-05-17 01:37:46 UTC 
Already been discussed into the floor, bug #89315 according to 
rationales.txt

I don't think it's a reasonable preference, really.
