WINUP and WINDN indeed sound like they would be a good candicate for this, especially since the command names already fit mostly. However, we are already short on nicely bindable commands and would probably like to use a few new ones for our own purposes. So its IMHO argueable if it is a good idea to "waste" new commands for things that are limited to GUIs only... It could help if you give us a nice rationale why its necessary to bind window switch to a BRLTTY command, instead of just using the keyboard. We already have two commands for switching to previous and next console (SWITCHVT_PREV and SWITCHVT_NEXT). Come to think of it, Alt+F1 doesn't work on Linux if you are on a X11 console (you have to use Shift+Alt+F1). It might be interesting to think about using these console switch commands for window switching if a GUI screen reader is active (or, in other word, have the BrlAPI client grab those commands and DTRT with them). This would mean that SWITCHVT_PREV and SWITCHVT_NEXT no longer switch away from X11 but rather cycle the windows there. Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. There is SWITCHVT as well, which allows to pass a "window" number, that might also be interesting to use but doesn't really comply with the cycling philosophy. It would rather allow it to jump to a specific window number using the cursor routing keys (and some additional display key press). -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/[email protected] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
