Hi,
Please add examples for "set_desktop --relative" — it's not immediately
clear that you have to use "--" in order that negative numbers are parsed
correctly:
$ xdotool set_desktop --relative -1
set_desktop: unrecognized option '-1'
Usage: set_desktop desktop
--relative - Move relative to the current desktop. Negative values OK
$ xdotool set_desktop --relative -- -1
Patch attached.
Regards,
--
