🦋 AEROSPACE-FO...CK-AND-FORTH(1) 🦋

ok so you're reading the AeroSpace Manual bestie, and this page is literally about the cutest little toggle ever — welcome to aerospace-focus-back-and-forth ✨

💅 NAME 💅

aerospace-focus-back-and-forth — switches between the element you're on right now and the one you were on before, back and forth, like a lil tennis match but for focus 🎾

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

aerospace focus-back-and-forth [-h|--help]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically: it flips between the current and the previously focused elements. Back, forth, back, forth. Iconic behaviour honestly.

And what counts as an "element"? It's either a window or an empty workspace — those are your two options, that's the whole cast 🫶

⚠️ now pay attention because this part matters: AeroSpace keeps only one previously focused window in history. Just one. So if you close that previous window, focus-back-and-forth has literally nothing to switch to — no cap — and in that case the command will exit with a non-zero exit code 💀

which is exactly why the girlies (and everyone else) prefer to pair it with workspace-back-and-forth like this:

aerospace focus-back-and-forth || aerospace workspace-back-and-forth

see how that works? if the first one fails, the second one picks up the slack. teamwork 💖

Also see: workspace-back-and-forth 👀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — prints the help. that's it. that's the whole option. slay 🎀
