switch to the last used workspace

Hi,

I know how to cycle through the work spaces and switch back and forth by having configured "workspaceautobackandforth yes". 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?

As http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#changingnamedworkspacesmovingtoworkspaces explains, there is a command workspace back_and_forth which you can bind to a key combination.

Hi, I tried that before but it just creates a workspace "back_and_forth". I am on version 4.3.
