I am disappointed by the result of the directional commands in the following specific situation. I have a grid of windows of the same size, lined up so they all touch (I guess "tiled" is a good description) and I go switch with direction == northwest (the same is true for northeast etc.) The window selected by the algo is the one directly to the north from the focussed one, and not the one diagonally to the northwest as I expected. I looked at the code ie. focus_find_directional in openbox/focus_cycle.c and I cannot say I understand it. Is there a paper I can read with a rationale? Or can the author(s) of the code explain? I hope after I gain understanding of the current algo's goal, I can offer a patch to make it behave better in the situation I described. -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages.
