Provide "Toggle" option, to toggle between 2 virtual Desktops
See original GitHub issueGreat project this. Actually found because I needed to switch quickly between two virtual desktop with the same shortcut. But this feature seems to be lacking.
So my feature request is to add an option (maybe call it “Toggle”) to actually toggle between 2 Virtual Desktops. So if the current desktop is the first, then the second will be selected and vice-versa. Unsure what to do if there are 3 or more desktops.
I implemented this myself (in less than 10 lines) and it works great.
Implemented this in pipeline mode, changing rc variable.
So in order to use this feature: VirtualDesktop /gcd /toggle /s
What do you think?

@ruggi99
I added an update to my solution here https://github.com/widavies/WinJump that allows you to customize the shortcut and also adds in a toggle feature.
I think I agree with @MScholtes here that the toggle function doesn’t necessarily belong in the VirtualDesktop library, it belongs more in the calling utility. In any case, you can give me library a shot and see what you think.
Hello @ruggi99,
I suggest dropping the toggle option if you found another way. I then think about whether I can extend the calc option so that special requirements can also be met.
Greetings
Markus
