I don't use vdesks, so I waited to see if someone else
can answer your question. There has been no answer from
an experienced vdesk user, so it might be worth trying my
three untested ideas:
[1]
nextvdesknum=(desknum+1)%4
;; that's if you have 4 vdesks - so 5 will become 1
vdesk.moveactive(nextvdesknum)
[2]
Try this short script:
; local activehandle=window("firstwindow","active")
vdesk next
local nextvdeskname=deskname
vdesk previous
; window show activehandle
vdesk.moveactive(nextvdeskname)
Note: I think both of the lines starting with a ; are unnecessary.
Only use them if you find that the active window loses focus
when you switch back to the original desktop.
I don't know whether "vdesk next" wraps from the last vdesk to the
first. I hope so - else you will need a more complicated script,
to cope with the case where you are on your last desktop:
[3]
local thisvdesknum=desknum
local nextvdesknum=(desknum+1)%4
;; that's if you have 4 vdesks - so 5 will become 1
vdesk.switchto(nextvdesknum)
local nextvdeskname=deskname
vdesk.switchto(desknum)
vdesk.moveactive(nextvdeskname)
I hope at least one of those three ideas will work for you,
