compiz - Feb 2007 - Commenting switcher.c, switching between application windows.

Hello all.

I'd like to implement the ability to switch between just the windows
of the currently selected application (similar to the way OS:X does
it) to switcher.c.

As a part of actually understanding what's going on in there, I'll go
through and try to write doxygen comments the switcher.c functions.

Is there anyone else working on either the commenting or the switching
parts, to save me duplicating effort?

You might want to check out switcher plugin implementation of Beryl,
recently ring switching was implemented, the guys who worked on it
might have some useful tips for you.

They usually are available over at the beryl forum, beryl-dev mailing
list or IRC #beryl-dev.

OK, I would have a look at the scale plugin if I were you. It allows you
to scale only windows in the current application. initiate_group is the
name of the action used initiate scale this way. The changes that should
be done to get the same functionality in the switcher plugin are very
similar.

Sure, useful comments are always appreciated.

Not that I know of.
