This provides behaviour similar to Alt-Tab, but for switching between monitors or cycling through windows on a specific monitor. It has only been tested with XFCE (with focus follows mouse), but should work with any window manager which supports EWMH.
The trigger key is currently hard coded to Super_L / Mod4. The
following shortcuts are available:
Super + Tab- Cycle through a window list containing only windows on the same monitor as the currently active window.
Super + Shift + Tab- Like
Super + Tab, but cycle in reverse order. Super + [1-9]- Activate the most recent window on the specified monitor and move the mouse pointer to the window's center. If there is no window on the specified monitor, just move the mouse pointer to the center of the monitor.
Super + Ctrl + [1-9]- Cycle through a window list containing only windows on the specified monitor. When a window is selected, it is raised but not given focus.
Super + Shift + Ctrl + [1-9]- Like
Super + Ctrl + [1-9], but cycle in reverse order.
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-keybinder-3.0 python-gi python-xlib python setup.py install
Run montab after installation. Note that if you're using XFCE, Super +
Tab has a default binding which you'll have to disable in the Window Manager
settings.
