- these track window lists (and indices) per output and per workspace respectively. note this deviates from the as-is functionality, where there was only a single global window list. these new options essentially scope the alt-tabbing to specific areas. - existing options are backwards-compatible.
- simplify state data - index & window list always dicts. - persist in-memory state into a tempfile at i3 restart, and read it back in on server startup. - import some server-only deps only when server is launched, ie those imports are now ignored when called with --switch option - allow larger window stacks - even with lower --history values, still allow window stack length/size to be WIN_HISTORY + 5; this is to cover cases where a/multiple window(s) are closed; as it stands, closing a window in a stack would result in temporary gap in usage, until user focuses new windows. with this change, assuming older windows have been added to the stack, they would become accessible again if some window(s) from the front of the stack are closed/removed.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Note we track window property instead of id, as former stays constant across i3 restarts.
