Switch screen focus (Have 2 screens with RandR)

[wgrose]

Is there anyway to switch screen focus with a keyboard shortcut?

I don't mind contributing some code if you have an idea of how it might work (if it's not already implemented).

Nope, there's nothing for this right now. It seems like a reasonable feature to add though, if you can think of a good shortcut that doesn't interfere with others :)

I'd love if you could add this, particularly because I don't have a good way of testing multi monitor setups. To add this, I think all you'd need to do is:

• add the keybinding to the shellshape schema (https://github.com/gfxmonk/shellshape/blob/a43ff21fa81f0249df67c52bebf46123578e8f40/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.net.gfxmonk.shellshape.keybindings.gschema.xml)
• add the code to actually do the switching in extension.ts (see https://github.com/gfxmonk/shellshape/blob/a43ff21fa81f0249df67c52bebf46123578e8f40/src/extension.ts#L401 for where all the other keybindings are set up)

If you haven't had much experience with TypeScript, it's basically an optionally typed Javascript. But since there's no well-typed description of gnome-shell APIs (like screen objects), I've created only what shellshape currently uses. So you may need to add signatures for any new functions you use here: https://github.com/gfxmonk/shellshape/blob/a43ff21fa81f0249df67c52bebf46123578e8f40/src/common.ts#L32

Let me know if I've missed anything, or if something's not clear.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

Did anything come of this? If not I'll give it a shot - Shellshape is so close to providing everything I actually use in XMonad without having to battle with a non-standard window manager, and this is the last piece to make me feel properly at home.

I haven't heard anything further, so go ahead @jellybob

I never got around to it and have switched WM's since :(.
