When using .lua I am not able to move window focus with keyboard shortcuts across workspace boundaries. This works with conf but not with lua.
When focus is on the left side (of the right monitor) and I move the focus left. The focus moves to a window on the very right side of the same workspace and not to a window on the workspace left of this one.
old conf
# Move focus with mainMod + arrow keys / hjkl (vim controls)
bind = $mainMod, left, movefocus, l
bind = $mainMod, right, movefocus, r
bind = $mainMod, up, movefocus, u
bind = $mainMod, down, movefocus, d
bind = $mainMod, h, movefocus, l
bind = $mainMod, l, movefocus, r
bind = $mainMod, j, movefocus, u
bind = $mainMod, k, movefocus, d
new lua
-- Directional Focus (Arrow Keys)
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + left", hl.dsp.focus({ direction = "left" }))
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + right", hl.dsp.focus({ direction = "right" }))
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + up", hl.dsp.focus({ direction = "up" }))
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + down", hl.dsp.focus({ direction = "down" }))
-- Directional Focus (Vim Controls)
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + H", hl.dsp.focus({ direction = "left" }))
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + L", hl.dsp.focus({ direction = "right" }))
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + J", hl.dsp.focus({ direction = "up" }))
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + K", hl.dsp.focus({ direction = "down" }))
Am I missing a flag somewhere?
I have the same issue with cyclenext. It only cycles though windows on the current workspace
bind = ALT, Tab, cyclenext, # change focus to another window
bind = ALT, Tab, bringactivetotop, # bring it to the top
hl.bind("ALT + Tab", function()
hl.dispatch(hl.dsp.window.cycle_next({}))
hl.dispatch(hl.dsp.window.bring_to_top())
end)
