Evening,

I would like to request if there could be a more direct way of changing the focus between windows and maybe also swaping their location. I was thinking of having windows being focused by having their position on the screen listed in a numerical fashion in order for it to be accessed through <Super+1>, <Super+2>, <Super+3> and so on.

As such, in a vertical layout, for example, window 1 would be the window at the top of the left column, window 2 the one below it or at the top of the right column, and the window at the bottom of the right column would be the last window from the count. Maybe they could even have their location switched by using <Shift+Super+(Desired-location-count)>

By screens do you mean workspaces or physical monitors?

If the former then you don't need shellshape for this. Gnome Shell already has shortcuts for moving windows between workspaces and for changing workspaces. I have mine setup just like you'r suggesting.

@hThoreau do you meeam moving focus between windows, not _screens? If so, that makes sense. I'd accept a PR, but it should probably not come with default keybindings - many people (myself included) already use uper+nfor switching to then`th workspace.

Thanks @timbertson. Should've better specified my terminology.
