Do not jump to other outputs when using focus <direction>

[Wenir]

When using focus left/right, if the current window is the last one in that direction on its output, focus moves to another output (if one exists in that direction) or wraps to the other end of the workspace (if focus_wrapping is enabled) instead of staying on the current window

In i3/sway this is less of an issue because all windows are visible, so it is obvious when I reach the last one. In scroll, it is not always clear whether the current window is the last, which can cause focus to move farther than expected

For now, I am using a patch that deletes this block of code (lines 242-248), but I think it would be useful to have an easier way to disable it

Maybe I could add another option, but what I do is to have a gaps outer value that lets me see whether there is another window in that direction. For example:

gaps inner 4
gaps outer 20

If there is another window, I will be able to see its edge.

Hmmm, right now I'm changing my config in the opposite direction. I’m trying to remove gaps because I’m used to moving the cursor to the very edge of the screen to click the scrollbar. But I will experiment with this, thanks

I will also add a new option to focus_wrapping. I think force and workspace do exactly the same thing in scroll, because there is no multi-level hierarchy of containers as there is in sway. So I will probably remove one of them and add one to do what you want. I need to make sure I can remove one of them, though. I would like to do both things at the same time.

In e42a0fe I added a new option stay to focus_wrapping. Set it to prevent any wrapping or changing output when you reach the edge of the workspace.

Thanks, I checked, and it’s working as expected
