[Request] Linear keyboard navigation between windows

[steelman]

Add support for keyboard navigation between windows as if they were on a one dimensional list (see Awesome's Mod+j/k) as well as for moving windows on that list (Awesome's Shift+Mod+j/k and Ctrl+Mod+Return).

PS. Pinnacle looks great and very promising (-:

Hello,

I might be misunderstanding the request, but keyboard navigation can already be done.

Here is a snippet from my config (lua example, but the rust api provide the same options):

            local current = Window.get_focused()
            if current then
                local others = current:in_direction(directions[dir])

                if #others == 0 then
                    return
                elseif count > #others then
                    count = #others
                end

                others[count]:set_focused(true)

To move a window, you can use function WindowHandle:swap(target) instead of WindowHandle:set_focused(true)

Are you requesting a way to get an ordered window list ?

This would require Pinnacle to flatten the layout tree, meaning the window order may not be the one you expect unless you have an already flat layout, but if that's the case you can already use in_direction to get that list

EDIT: Ok, I had a look at awesome default config. Window.get_all() already return a list of window. However they are in layout order, not ordered by id (due to some internal shenanigans). If you're fine with that, you can use that function to retrieve all windows, then find the wind handle you're interested in.
If you want a sorted list, rust WindowHandle implement PartialEq and can be sorted, and you can access the id to sort the table on lua side :) (then apply the code above to change focus and swap windows)
