keynav-0.1.2 released

Update to the keyboard navigation plugin: 0.1.2.

This minor update simply fixes all the warnings and cleaned up some cruft in the code.
Source code is available from my web dav folder.

git clone  http://svn.blisted.org/scott/keynav.git

The package is available for download here.

Keynav 0.1.1 is available

This version has been bcopified, so to install it (on an ubuntu system) perform the following:

$ sudo apt-get install compiz-dev compiz-bcop
$ make install

It does not need to be built or installed as root. It will install in the local user space by default. This is just a forward-port to compiz 0.8.4, and a cleanup. Download it. To know more about keynav, check out the original keynav post.

Compiz Keyboard Navigation

Do you use  compiz-fusion? Have you ever wished you could focus on the window to the right of the window you're currently in, and not have to reach for the mouse? And not have to flip through a bunch of windows with 3D effects? I do.

For years I used  pekwm, and this was one of my favorite features (along with sloppy window grouping and the ability to extend windows to use empty space, maximize vertically and horizontally - all of which are otherwise available with compiz plugins). And lately, it's driven me so mad that I can't just go to my build terminal that I decided to solve it myself.

So attached to this wiki page is a plugin which accomplishes this. It works rather well. I'll submit it for inclusion with  compiz-fusion, we'll see if it gets included.
