Re: Problems with autogrouping

You may find this a bit faster. It's $mod+left/right, the same as 
plain linux consoles. Needs wmctrl. It loops back around whichever way
you go:

# Bind $mod+left/right to switch workspaces
bindcode $mod+113 exec --no-startup-id /home/david/scripts/swdesk-left
bindcode $mod+114 exec --no-startup-id /home/david/scripts/swdesk-right

##########
#!/bin/sh

# swdesk-left

CURD=$(wmctrl -d | grep "*" | cut -d' ' -f1)
TOT=$(($(wmctrl -d | wc -l)-1))
ND=$(($CURD-1))

if [ $ND -lt 0 ]; then
    ND=$TOT
fi

wmctrl -s $ND
##########

##########
#!/bin/sh

# swdesk-right

CURD=$(wmctrl -d | grep "*" | cut -d' ' -f1)
TOT=$(($(wmctrl -d | wc -l)-1))
ND=$(($CURD+1))

if [ $ND -gt $TOT ]; then
    ND=0
fi

wmctrl -s $ND
