Originally created by @edgimar on GitHub (Jan 13, 2023).

I want to be able to set a workspace's layout to 'monocle' (maybe have a workspace-layout <mon> <ws> monocle command?) and then to be able to cycle focus between windows on that workspace, causing the next or previous window to be on top and fully maximized. Currently the toggle-monocle command appears to apply to a single window, and after it is activated, doing something like cycle-focus next does not change to a different window on the workspace.

Furthermore, when in this mode, focus <dir> should just cycle the windows of the workspace (e.g. with left/right and up/down both mapped to prev/next).

(I'm using version 0.1.14)

Hey @edgimar, my memory is a little hazy so I can't remember exactly when this functionality was added, but the desired behaviour that you're describing works for me on the master branch and if it's not in 0.1.14 it will definitely make it into 0.1.15.
