Hi Magnus,
2009/10/28 Magnus Therning
I start three terminals, t1, t2 and t3, I then switch to TwoPane and have a screen showing t1 and t2 (t1|t2). What I want is to have t1 next to t3, so I jump through the windows until I have t1|t3. However, if I now want to switch focus to t1 I can't seem do that without changing what windows are visible, however I do it I end up with t1|t2. What I have to do is get t3 over to the master area, then jump through until I have t3|t1. I have to redo the same steps if I after that want to switch focus to t3.
I'm using DragPane, but I had the same problem. What works for me is to make sure the focus is in the master area, and then use Alt-Tab until the app I want is in the other pane.
(Assuming Alt-Tab is your key combo for switching focus between windows:) That's what I do too, which is exactly what I so clumsily tried to explain. That leaves one of the windows you want in the master area, and the other in the non-master area (slave?). Can you then switch back to the master area *without the window in the non-master area changing*? It's the switching back and forth between two carefully places windows that is more painful than I like. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
