Hi all,

Here's an amend-recorded version of my focus stack patch, which fixes recent conflicts. I understand there's some debate (presumably on IRC?) as to what is the best way to deal with the focus issues, and figure that having working code to consider could come in handy in the discussion. It's also a significant usability improvement in the meantime...

Thanks a lot for fixing these conflicts. I was going to apply this (to my local repo) last night, but when I saw conflicts I decided sleep was a better option :). The only concern I have is that focus changing in tiled mode becomes less obvious. In the original model, focus would always move to the next window in layout order -- which is visually clear in tiled mode. In full mode, however, focus changing is often unintuitive (especially when popup-like windows are involved). In the new model, focus follows some invisible ordering -- an ordering that is certainly better for full mode, but is it better for tiled? I'm going to try this patch for a few days. I'd like feedback from any other people that have tried it. Cheers, Spencer Janssen
