Best "go to previous window" solution
Hello list. To move to the previous selected window, I use the module `XMonad.Actions.GroupNavigation` and its `historyHook` with a key set up to `nextMatch History (pure True)`. With this I can alternate to the previously selected window. But it is not a repeatable process, because once I jump to the previous window, the window from which I jumped becomes the "previous window". That means I can only alternate between two windows with this setup. What I would like is to have the equivalent of `C-o` on vim or `C-u C-<space>` on emacs but without it being limited to two movements. What modules on contrib should I be using? -- -- Rubén. pgp: 4EE9 28F7 932E F4AD

Last time I looked for this, nothing in xmonad-contrib seemed good enough (although I surely missed something) and I found https://github.com/sagb/alttab, which works well enough with xmonad and even shows icons to make it visually easier to use. :-) -- Tomáš "liskin" ("Pivník") Janoušek, https://work.lisk.in/
Possibly XMonad.Actions.CycleWindows. This said, there's a standard set of
bindings to mod-j and mod-k (alternately mod-tab, mod-shift-tab) that might
do what you want.
