Description

Created attachment 5230 Add support for focusing windows by direction

Here is a patch that adds support for switching windows using direction. I like to arrange my windows in the same way as a tiling wm does, but than I miss the possibility to hit for example alt-left to focus the window at the left of the active window.

Would you consider this a useful feature that you can integrate upstream ? If so, could you review the patch and point me to the changes needed so that it can be integrated ?
