However, I like to dedicate a key combination which will always let me switch to the last used work space to be able to switch between two work spaces on the fly. Is there a way to do so and if not could it be implemented in future versions?Wed, 03 Oct 2012 04:12:27 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/581/switch-to-the-last-used-workspace/Answer by mmulin for <p>Hi,</p> <p>I know how to cycle through the work spaces and switch back and forth by having configured "workspace<em>auto</em>back<em>and</em>forth yes".
