I use this feature to hide certain windows from the view of the pager. I put
them on a desk tha the poager is not configured to show and toggle the Sticky
attribute to bring them in and out of the current desktop. So, I would prefer
not to limit Fvwm to only having visble desktops.
Maybe you could change from using "Desk 1" and "Desk -1" to something a bit
smarter. I use Alt+Insert|Home|Delete|End to go around my 2x2 desktops
with "Desk 0 n" to go directly. The keys are in a square arrangement which
matches the view shown by FvwmPager.
If you want a NextDesk/PrevDesk command that wraps modulo 3 you could use self
modifying functions i.e.
AddToFunc my_NextDesk "I" my_Desk1
AddToFunc my_PrevDesk "I" my_Desk3
AddToFunc my_Desk0 "I" Desk 0 0
+ "I" DestroyFunc my_NextDesk
+ "I" DestroyFunc my_PrevDesk
+ "I" AddToFunc my_NextDesk "I" my_Desk1
+ "I" AddToFunc my_PrevDesk "I" my_Desk3
AddToFunc my_Desk1 "I" Desk 0 1
+ "I" DestroyFunc my_NextDesk
+ "I" DestroyFunc my_PrevDesk
+ "I" AddToFunc my_NextDesk "I" my_Desk2
+ "I" AddToFunc my_PrevDesk "I" my_Desk0
AddToFunc my_Desk2 "I" Desk 0 2
+ "I" DestroyFunc my_NextDesk
+ "I" DestroyFunc my_PrevDesk
+ "I" AddToFunc my_NextDesk "I" my_Desk3
+ "I" AddToFunc my_PrevDesk "I" my_Desk1
AddToFunc my_Desk3 "I" Desk 0 3
+ "I" DestroyFunc my_NextDesk
+ "I" DestroyFunc my_PrevDesk
+ "I" AddToFunc my_NextDesk "I" my_Desk0
+ "I" AddToFunc my_PrevDesk "I" my_Desk2
Hope this helps,
Timbo.
PS I haven't tested the above.
