i3-cycle-focus.py: cycle through all previously focused windows

[okraits]

Kind of related to #50, I extended the script focus-last.py to be able to cycle through all previously focused windows.

I wanted to emulate the Alt-Tab behaviour of other window managers like Openbox. But i3 doesn't allow to trigger an action when the Alt key is released.
So I use a timer to update the focus history after a certain span of time after a new window has been focused.

The previous behaviour of the script (toggling between the current and the previously focused window) can be restored by setting --delay 0.0.

I think the alt-tab behavior is good, but I don't want to change the default behavior of this script because people seem to be using it.

Can you either make your own example file or keep the default for this script how it is?

[okraits]

Yes, I can change it into another example file.
I figured I want to add switches to ignore floating windows and to only include windows on the active/visible workspace(s). I will update my pull request when I will have added those.

@acrisci Extended the script and moved it to a new example.

Cool, good example script 👍 .

What about alt-shift-tab to cycle forward in the list?

Thank you :-) I didn't think about that because I never used that with other window manager. But I guess that it's not a big deal so I will add it.
