Re: [wmii] wm 3 stable feature request

There's also a nice function-ized version that someone in #wmii wrote for me:

get_tags () {
        wmiir read /tags | awk \
        'NR==1{one=$0}; {print}
                END { print one }'
}

cycle_views () {
        dir=$1
        curtag=`wmiir read /view/name`

        if [ "X$dir" = "Xnext" ]; then
                tag=`get_tags | awk -v "cur=$curtag" \
                '$0==cur{getline; print; exit}'`
        elif [ "X$dir" = "Xprev" ]; then
                tag=`get_tags | awk -v "cur=$curtag" \
                'BEGIN {prev=""}
                        $0==cur&&prev!=""{print prev; exit}
                        {prev=$0}'`
        fi
        xwrite /ctl view $tag
}

Then, just call "cycle_views next" or "cycle_views prev".
